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 half a century, our view of the world has been based on the standard model of particle physics. However, this view has been challenged by theories 1 that can overcome some of the limitations of ...

What these two processes share is baked into the math of each. In fact, in that respect, they're nearly identical. They both involve some stuff (atoms or money) that is either growing or shrinking.

Radioactive material gets a bad rap, what with radiation and fallout and nuclear waste and all. But it offers some practical uses. One of the coolest (OK, maybe the coolest) is using radioactive ...

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 ...

Hickory dickory dock, this nucleus could make a great clock. A special variety of the element thorium hosts an atomic nucleus that could be used to keep time, scientists say. In a first, researchers ...

The moment nuclear material is produced, processed or purified, it sets off a hidden countdown, marked by the half-life of ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. The findings of a new study suggest radioactive decay rates — long considered physical constants — are more variable than ...

Let's talk Einstein and Nuclear Physics. What does E=MC2 actually mean? Why is it useful? It's time for our second to final Physics episode. So, let's talk Einstein and Nuclear Physics. What does ...

For those wondering about the radioactive batteries onboard the Perseverance and Curiosity Mars rovers, which generate far ...
