image: Map of the Jornada del Muerto desert region and Trinity Test Site, showing the location of major settlements and roads (grey stippled lines), the Santa Fe rail road (solid black line), and the Rio Grande river. Red stippled lines show concentric distance from the 'zero point' of detonation. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Feb. 8, 2017, issue of Science Advances, published by AAAS. The paper, by J.M.D. Day at University of California, San Diego in La Jolla, Calif., and colleagues was titled, 'Evaporative fractionation of zinc during the first nuclear detonation.' view more
