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.

The Standard Model of physics, which explains the properties and interactions of the fundamental particles, does a phenomenal job with the things it gets right, and there's nothing that it obviously ...

In a random moment, all energy is lost. The unstable subject cannot help but decay, slowly but surely, letting go of particles to become stable. It loses itself to become balanced again. This is a ...

For half a century, our view of the world has been based on the standard model of particle physics. However, this view has been challenged by theories 1 that can overcome some of the limitations of ...

Students will test and observe how distance affects radiation measurements from radioactive sources. Students will test and observe how different types of shielding materials affect radiation ...

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 ...

Some nuclei of certain elements decay radioactively into nuclei of different elements. These decays can be useful or annoying depending on the context. This is especially true for potassium-40. This ...
