Example nuclear reactions include radioactive decay, fission, the break-up of a nucleus, and fusion, the merging of nuclei. Analysis of gravitational waves from merging binary neutron stars was ...

(ScienceAlert) Electron antineutrinos are emitted during nuclear beta decay, a type of radioactive decay in which a neutron decays into a proton, an electron, and antineutrino. One of these ...

The discovery of radioactivity provided geologists with a powerful tool to unlock Earth's history. The discovery soon revealed that radioactive elements decay at predictable rates, forming the basis ...

Unfortunately, typical detectors require particles produced by radioactive decay to interact with a sensor, which means they have to be pretty close to the source. But a new technique, pioneered ...

Amid the tumult of mass firings, the Trump administration’s dismissal of workers who maintain America’s nuclear weapons delivered perhaps the greatest shock. These are people with highly ...

Beryllium-10 undergoes radioactive decay really slowly, meaning it gradually breaks down over millions of years as it sits in the rocks. As beryllium-10 decays over time, its concentration ...

A nuclear power renaissance—driven in part by power-hungry AI data centers—has revived a thorny problem: what to do with the radioactive waste left behind. Already, more than 90,000 metric ...

More stable isotopes can also be identified by magic numbers, and double magic means an extra level of stability, providing resistance against nuclear decay. The Periodic Table Officially Has 4 ...

The United Nations nuclear watchdog called on the US and Iran to begin talks, suggesting that US President Donald Trump holds the next move in trying to defuse tensions with the Islamic Republic ...
