Segment 7A: Radioactive Decay We explore the nature of radioactivity. Segment 7A: Radioactive Decay We explore the nature of radioactivity and describes the types of radioactive decay that occur.

The questions in this quiz are suitable for GCSE physics students studying stable nuclei, nuclear radiation, half life and nuclear equations. If you struggled with the quiz, don't panic - we've got ...

The Isotope Separator On-Line facility (ISOLDE) directs a proton beam from the Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB) onto ...

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 ...

Anomalies in the radioactive decay of beryllium-8 and helium-4 point to the existence of a new force of nature. That is the conclusion of a group of theorists in the US, who have scrutinized data from ...

Back in 2007, physicists at the GSI heavy ion accelerator in Darmstadt, Germany, made a puzzling discovery. These guys were measuring the radioactive decay rates of praseodymium and promethium nuclei ...

Radioactive elements on Earth are like geological watches. A radioactive isotope of carbon is used to date human civilizations, among other things, because we know that its half-life is precisely ...

The Standard Model of physics, which explains the properties and interactions of the fundamental particles, does a phenomenal job with the things it gets right, and there's nothing that it obviously ...

Geodynamics, Neutrino Oscillation-Induced Radioactive Decay, Magmatic Activity, Earthquake Mechanism, Earthquake Precursor Share and Cite: Zhang, M. and Zhang, G. (2025) Neutrino Oscillation, ...

A new way of studying radioactive processes deep inside the Earth has been proposed by an international group of physicists. They want to use a next-generation dark matter detector called a gas-filled ...
