Among the many science toys that have fallen out of fashion since we started getting nervous around things like mercury, ...

Geodynamics, Neutrino Oscillation-Induced Radioactive Decay, Magmatic Activity, Earthquake Mechanism, Earthquake Precursor ...

At the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), physicists accelerate particles to the highest energies and in the greatest numbers that humanity has ever achieved. We smash them together at greater than ...

A battery made of diamonds could power devices for thousands of years, scientists have announced. This battery would be powered by a diamond surrounding a radioactive isotope of carbon known as carbon ...

In this lesson, students will simulate the randomness of decay in radioactive atoms and visualize the half-life of a sample radioactive element. This lesson can be completed in two (2) 45-minute class ...

For the first time, researchers have directly observed an exotic type of radioactive decay called two-neutrino double electron capture. The decay, seen in xenon-124 atoms, happens so sparingly that it ...

The Earth has cooled since its formation, yet the decay of radiogenic isotopes, and in particular uranium, thorium and potassium, in the planet’s interior provides a continuing heat source. The ...

A highly coveted children's toy from the 1950s is going on sale—and it contains real uranium. The Gilbert U-238 Atomic Energy Laboratory, which was released in 1950, was dubbed one of 'the 10 most ...

Researchers refute the assumption that the decay rate of some radioactive nuclides depends on the distance between the Earth and the Sun. PTB researchers refute the assumption that the decay rate of ...
