Numerous scientific discoveries were made by accident. Sometimes, the findings even crossed into a different field other than the one scientists were exploring. The XENON collaboration is formed by an ...

In a new set of results, chemists have laid the foundation for a single-atom illumination strategy called barium tagging. Their achievement is the first known imaging of single atoms in a solid noble ...

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 ...
