What is your opinion on those results? I can't find many studies. The most important paper seem to be this. The reported variability is quite big, I would think that it would be quite easy to set up a ...

Many years ago in nuclear engineering, using clean nuclear reactor cores vendors predicted power distributions and criticality of the systems that were easily confirmed. HOWEVER mathematically this is ...

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 nuclear beta decay an up quark ‘u’ in a proton converts into an up down quark ‘d,’ turning the proton into a neutron and emitting a positron and a neutrino. This work affects interpretation of beta ...

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 ...

Working at a nuclear research centre as I do, I found Justin Mullins’s article on seasonal variations in radioactive decay most intriguing (27 June, p 42). The most dramatic change in radioactive ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists revealed how atoms rearrange themselves before releasing low-energy electrons in a decay process initiated by ...
