...workings of the living, changing cell is enormously difficult. It would be even harder without a new tool: nitrogen 15, a stable (nonradioactive) isotope of nitrogen.

But since it is slightly heavier, nitrogen 15 can be measured accurately by a balky and expensive instrument called a mass spectrometer. If compounds containing nitrogen 15 instead of ordinary nitrogen are fed to cells, the scientists can tell with the mass spectrometer whether the cells have accepted them as food...
