Researchers refute the assumption that the decay rate of some radioactive nuclides depends on the distance between the Earth and the Sun. PTB researchers refute the assumption that the decay rate of ...

Amid the global concern over the pollution of radioactive wastes in the ocean, The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK), the City University of Hong Kong and The University of Hong Kong have ...

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have unveiled a groundbreaking method for rapidly detecting and measuring radioactivity in minuscule samples. The technique, ...

For the first time, researchers have directly observed an exotic type of radioactive decay called two-neutrino double electron capture. The decay, seen in xenon-124 atoms, happens so sparingly that it ...

The European Space Agency’s (ESA) INTEGRAL space observatory has made the first direct detection of radioactive titanium associated with supernova remnant 1987A. The radioactive decay likely has been ...

A battery made of diamonds could power devices for thousands of years, scientists have announced. This battery would be powered by a diamond surrounding a radioactive isotope of carbon known as carbon ...
