Today we're talking all about Carbon 14 dating; isotopes, beta decay, half lives, the whole lot! It's a complicated process, but nothing we can't get through together!

Discover how biogenic materials revolutionize architecture, promoting sustainability and circular design in urban ...

Silver-110’s decay reveals a promising path to measure antineutrino mass. New data could reshape future neutrino studies.

When conducting nuclear medical procedures like brachytherapy or performing repairs at industrial nuclear facilities, the energy of an alpha or beta particle released from a nucleus is calculated.

Open world sci-fi RPG Beta Decay is being delightfully greedy. The game's retro PS1-inspired art style hides some furious ambitions. It will be a "dystopian RPG where you can build spaceships, join ...

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 ...

With the start of a new year on Jan. 1, 2025, comes the emergence of a new generation. 2025 marks the end of Generation Alpha and the start of Generation Beta, a cohort that will include all ...

In a classic classroom demonstration, alpha particles can be blocked with material as thin as a piece of paper. This means that shielding batteries based on alpha-decay is relatively easy. In the past ...

This is because the high decay energy of alpha-radioisotopes – between four and six mega electron volts (MeV) – offers the potential to far outstrip beta-radioisotope devices, whose decay ...

307 theta,alpha,beta,decay, loss,p = MLE_rna (stable, N=N, p=p, lr=lr, tolerance=tolerance) 308 rna_fit = rna_fit_goodness (stable, alpha, beta, theta, decay, k=N) ...

An alpha particle is produced by the alpha decay of a radioactive nucleus. Because the nucleus is unstable a piece of it is ejected, allowing the nucleus to reach a more stable state. The piece that ...
