Hickory dickory dock, this nucleus could make a great clock. A special variety of the element thorium hosts an atomic nucleus that could be used to keep time, scientists say. In a first, researchers ...

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 ...

Segment 7A: Radioactive Decay We explore the nature of radioactivity. Segment 7A: Radioactive Decay We explore the nature of radioactivity and describes the types of radioactive decay that occur.

A team of Italian researchers has uncovered compelling evidence of anomalous radioactive decay in cobalt-57 (Co-57) under ultrasonic stimulation, offering strong experimental support for the Deformed ...

Production of improved/recommended decay data files of direct application in nuclear facilities, waste management, and for various design teams. Timely updating of the recommended nuclear parameters ...

The Potassium Decay (KDK) Collaboration used the KDK array to detect a previously unmeasured process in the radioactive decay of potassium-40 to argon-40 involving a rare type of electron capture.

Neutrino-free process: observing neutrinoless double beta decay could shed light on important mysteries of particle physics. A new technique to enable the detection of a hypothetical process called ...
