International scholars working to solve one of the biggest mysteries in particle physics – In an underground lab in the ...

The spacecraft—humanity's most distant probe—managed to resumed contact by switching to a secondary radio not used since 1981 ...

In an underground lab in a mountainous region of Italy that contains the coldest temperatures known to exist in the universe, ...

In a research lab under almost a mile of rock and a six-centimeter-thick shield created from boiled-down lead from an ancient ...

SpaceX's Falcon Heavy has launched 11 times, all successfully, and is based on the Falcon 9 rocket rated to ferry people into ...

It comes to us from [Science Shack] and uses radioactive decay to generate truly random numbers, as opposed to the pseudorandom number generators baked into most microcontrollers. The design is ...

However, if you don’t have one, you can look for yellowed glass. Radioactive decay could also cause hot spots on digital cameras. In the consumer market, it doesn’t look like radioactive ...

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 ...

It also means that the process of radioactive decay cannot be speeded up or slowed down by any physical changes such as a change of temperature or pressure. A random process means that scientists ...
