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 ...

LONDON, UK, 4 March 2025 - In a comprehensive Genomic Press Viewpoint (review) article, researchers are shining a spotlight on a revolutionary approach to tackling neuroendocrine tumours (NETs), a ...

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 ...

Back when it was theorized, scientists weren’t sure they would ever detect the neutrino; now they’re searching for a version of the particle that could be even more elusive. In Germany in 1930, a ...

Sometimes, finding nothing is just as good as finding something. Physicists have made the most sensitive measurements yet in the hunt for a rare event that could undermine the dominant theory of ...

Radioactivity is the act of emitting radiation spontaneously and is done by an atomic nucleus (unstable) to attain a more stable configuration by giving up some energy. Radioactivity is a physical, ...
