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 ...

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 ...

In this lesson, students will investigate the nature of radioactivity and the effect of both distance and shielding materials on different radioactive sources using a Geiger-Muller tube with a counter ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

OAK RIDGE, Tenn., March 11, 2019--An international collaboration including scientists at the Department of Energy's (DOE's) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) solved a 50-year-old puzzle that ...
