Researchers may have discovered a new method to predict solar flares more than a day before they occur, providing advance warning to help protect satellites, power grids and astronauts from ...

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 ...

When probing the deepest reaches of the Cosmos or magnifying our understanding of the quantum world, a whole host of mysteries present themselves. This is to be expected when pushing our knowledge of ...

This idea has been kicking around for years, and is not well supported by the research. That is, subsequent studies, such as this one, have failed to detect the ...

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 ...

Working at a nuclear research centre as I do, I found Justin Mullins’s article on seasonal variations in radioactive decay most intriguing (27 June, p 42). The most dramatic change in radioactive ...
