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 ...
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 ...
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 Date ...
Alpha vs. beta: When to use which metric? To help illustrate all these points, I will use an example of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A 0.98%) (BRK.B 0.98%) annual returns compared to ...
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 Release: Primarily to identify and address internal issues and bugs. Beta Release: To gather user feedback, fine-tune the product, and prepare for the official release.
