Some nuclei of certain elements decay radioactively into nuclei of different elements. These decays can be useful or annoying depending on the context. This is especially true for potassium-40. This ...

Radioactive decay is a fundamental process in nature by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by radiation. Studying nuclear decay modes is crucial for understanding properties of atomic ...

Russia’s state weather agency has reportedly said that it found radioactive isotopes in test samples after an accident at a military test site that killed five people earlier this month. A cloud of ...

Artemis Spyrou receives funding from the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy/National Nuclear Security Administration. When you hear the term “radioactive” you likely think “bad ...

A team of Italian researchers has uncovered compelling evidence of anomalous radioactive decay in cobalt-57 (Co-57) under ultrasonic stimulation, offering strong experimental support for the Deformed ...

It's been seven years since a University of Hawaii telescope spotted a strange object crossing our solar system. One-quarter mile (400 meters) long and maybe ten times as long as it is wide, thus ...

On the periodic table, most elements have at least one stable form. But others have only unstable forms, all of which decay by emitting radiation and transforming into different elements until ...
