Radioactive decay is the strange and almost mystical ability for one element to naturally and spontaneously transmute into another. In the process, those elements tend to emit deadly forms of ...

To achieve this, the AMoRE collaboration tried to observe neutrinoless double beta decay using molybdenum-100 (100 Mo), a radioactive isotope of molybdenum with an atomic number of 42 and a mass ...

Jon Chase explains radioactive decay. BBC Homepage. Skip to content; ... beta and gamma sources using a Geiger-Muller tube, showing how different types of radiation are capable of passing through ...

Some of the unstable atoms that emit beta radiation include hydrogen-3 (tritium) and carbon-14. Tritium is used, among others, in emergency lights to for instance mark exits in the dark. This is ...

The AMoRE experiment in South Korea has reported not finding evidence of neutrinoless double beta decay, imposing stringent limits on this elusive subatomic event May 15, 2025 e-Paper LOGIN Account ...

There are six types of quarks. These give hadrons electrical charge and this is important in the process of beta decay. The make-up and charge of the main sub-atomic particles can be explained by ...

It’s the rarest particle decay ever discovered. Scientists have clinched the case for a special type of decay of subatomic particles called kaons. Further study of the rare decay could reveal a ...
