To understand nuclear decay equations. How to measure the activity of radioactive sources. Spontaneously means that the process of radioactive decay can not be speeded up or slowed down by physical ...

For the first time, a research team from the University of Cologne has observed the electron capture decay of technetium-98, an isotope of the chemical element technetium (Tc). Electron capture decay ...

Let's talk Einstein and Nuclear Physics. What does E=MC2 actually mean? Why is it useful? It's time for our second to final Physics episode. So, let's talk Einstein and Nuclear Physics. What does ...

It is well-known that a radioactive substance follows a fixed exponential decay, no matter what you do to it. The fact has been set in stone since 1930 when the “father” of nuclear physics Ernest ...

WE have generalized a theory put forward by Yukawa 1 showing that nuclear forces can be explained by assuming the existence of new particles of mass about two hundred times that of the electron. Our ...
