Graph of count rate against time It is possible to find out the half-life of a radioactive substance from a graph of the count rate against time. The graph shows the decay curve for a radioactive ...

Eliminating that excuse, or at least making it statistically implausible, is the idea behind this radioactively random dice roller. It comes to us from [Science Shack] and uses radioactive decay ...

Radioactive decay is a spontaneous and random process. A block of radioactive material will contain many trillions of nuclei and not all nuclei are likely to decay at the same time so it is ...

The decision for which bulb to illuminate is truly random, as it’s determined by the radioactive decay of a Americium-241 alpha particle source. A Geiger-Muller tube is used to detect alpha ...

Certain isotopes are unstable and undergo a process of radioactive decay, slowly and steadily transforming, molecule by molecule, into a different isotope. This rate of decay is constant for a ...

Some natural elements are unstable. Therefore, their nuclei disintegrate or decay, thus releasing energy in the form of radiation. This physical phenomenon is called radioactivity and the radioactive ...

Spent sources, which can no longer be used for their intended purposes as a result of radioactive decay, are a sub-set of disused sources. If lost or not properly controlled, disused sealed sources ...

In a cutting-edge development that has sent shockwaves through the scientific community, researchers at University College ...

Some commonly used dating methods are summarized in Table 1. The rate of decay for many radioactive isotopes has been measured and does not change over time. Thus, each radioactive isotope has ...

The battery developed by the research team at China’s Soochow University harnesses the energy of radioactive decay, a process ...

The effects of the weak force were first discovered at the turn of the 20th century, in the place where it is most obviously at work: in radioactive beta decay. In the most common form of this ...
