Nuclear energy isn't exactly clean, with nuclear waste never exactly going away. But this inventive new process might help ...

The moment nuclear material is produced, processed or purified, it sets off a hidden countdown, marked by the half-life of ...

A battery made of diamonds could power devices for thousands of years, scientists have announced. This battery would be powered by a diamond surrounding a radioactive isotope of carbon known as carbon ...

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have unveiled a groundbreaking method for rapidly detecting and measuring radioactivity in minuscule samples. The technique, ...

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 ...

If you need to send something far from a recharge outlet, then you’re going need a nuclear battery. These long-running power sources come in all shapes and sizes, and have many different methods for ...

Facilities that work with radioactive materials require practical solutions for small quantities of isotopes and radioactive waste.

The blast is what people imagine. A sudden flash, a rising cloud, the moment when history splits into “before” and “after”. Nuclear disasters and atomic weapons are often pictured as events that ...

In this lesson, students will simulate the randomness of decay in radioactive atoms and visualize the half-life of a sample radioactive element. This lesson can be completed in two (2) 45-minute class ...

The element radium can be found in extremely tiny amounts in the Earth’s crust and oceans, and in its pure form it is a soft silvery metal. To an untrained eye, a small piece of radium may look like a ...

Cause and Effect: Understanding the causes of radioactive decay and its effects on materials and organisms. (Example: Exploring how distance and shielding materials affect exposure to radiation.) ...
