To understand nuclear decay equations. How to measure the activity of radioactive sources. Spontaneously means that the process of radioactive decay can not be speeded up or slowed down by physical ...

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 ...

Double beta decay research represents a pivotal field at the intersection of nuclear physics and particle physics, probing the fundamental nature of neutrinos and their role in the matter–antimatter ...

Scientists have gained insights into the weak nuclear force from new, more sensitive studies of the beta decays of the 'mirror' nuclei lithium-8 and boron-8. The weak nuclear force drives the process ...

Deep under a mountain in Italy, researchers continue to push the boundaries of science with an experiment that could rewrite the Standard Model of Particle Physics. Their experiment, known as the ...

IonQ Inc. (NYSE:IONQ) is one of the best AI stocks to buy according to hedge funds. On June 25, IonQ made headlines with a significant breakthrough in fundamental physics by achieving the first known ...

For the first time, a research team from the University of Cologne has observed the electron capture decay of technetium-98, ...

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 suspended in ...
