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 ...
An international collaboration led by the Fritz Haber Institute (FHI) has successfully mapped Electron-Transfer-Mediated ...
Scientists have gained insights into the weak nuclear force from new, more sensitive studies of the beta decays of the 'mirror' nuclei lithium-8 and boron-8. The weak nuclear force drives the process ...
ASSERGI, Italy – In a research lab under almost a mile of rock and a six-centimeter-thick shield created from boiled-down lead from an ancient Roman shipwreck, physicists are observing a rare form of ...
