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 ...
Mega-ambitious open world sci-fi RPG Beta Decay is coming to early access this year. The game's retro PS1-inspired mechs and alien aspiders run amok.
In recent years, some large physics experiments worldwide have been trying to gather evidence of a nuclear process known as neutrinoless double beta (0νββ) decay. This is a rare process that ...
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 ...
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 ...
Left: “Mirror” nuclei lithium-8 and boron-8 undergo beta decay, then split into two alpha particles. Right: Radioactive ions from the ATLAS accelerator at Argonne National Laboratory are ...
New beta-decay measurements in mirror nuclei pin down the weak nuclear force Scientists develop a new method to characterize the properties of one of the four fundamental forces of nature ...
Understanding the alpha and beta concepts is important for maximizing portfolio performance.
All the Latest Game Footage and Images from Beta Decay The development of positronic propulsion technology has granted the ability for mankind to travel beyond the Sol system, to its neighboring ...
Alpha is the initial software version for limited testing, while Beta is for broader testing and feedback before the final launch.
