Nuclear decay and fusion dynamics constitute central pillars in modern nuclear physics, with implications ranging from energy production and astrophysical phenomena to the synthesis of novel elements.

Energy and Matter: Exploring the transfer and transformation of energy during radioactive decay and nuclear reactions. (Example: Understanding how energy is released in the form of radiation during ...

For the first time, scientists observe a new and rare decay mode where oxygen-13 breaks into three helium nuclei and a proton following beta decay. Scientists have previously observed interesting ...

Outdone only by nuclear fusion, the process of nuclear fission releases enormous amounts of energy. The ‘spicy rocks’ that are at the core of both natural and artificial fission reactors are generally ...

In contrast to classical physics, multi-particle decay is a phenomenon unique to the quantum world. Magnesium-18 exemplifies such an exotic system, positioned far from the dripline. Spitting out ...

Isotek Systems, in partnership with TerraPower Isotopes, co-created by Bill Gates, are “producing cancer treatment material ...

Nuclear power is considered one of the ways to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, but how to deal with nuclear waste products is a concern. Radioactive waste products can be turned into more stable ...

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 ...

Science X is a network of high quality websites with most complete and comprehensive daily coverage of the full sweep of ...

In research, published in Chemical Engineering Journal, scientists design and test an automated device aimed at remote dissolution of an irradiated bismuth target followed by extraction chromatography ...
