An international team of physicists has successfully measured the size of a certain type of neutrino to a certain degree. In ...

There seems to be too much of a radioactive element in rocks deep in the Pacific Ocean – how did it get there 10 million ...

At its core, the diamond battery thrives on decay — specifically, the decay of the carbon-14 isotope. Carbon-14 is best known ...

Beta decay causes the atomic number of the nucleus to increase by one while the mass number remains the same. Gamma ray emission causes no change in the number of particles in the nucleus ...

Nuclear power is going through a bit of a renaissance as developed countries look for sources of cheap, plentiful energy to ...

The result is a power source with a half-life of 5,700 years, meaning it could potentially last for tens of thousands of ...

The timing is sensitive as the incident comes against the backdrop of the Munich Security Conference, a gathering of world ...

Electron antineutrinos are emitted during nuclear beta decay, a type of radioactive decay in which a neutron decays into a ...

Their device — a carbon-14 diamond battery — is a strange fusion of radioactive decay, synthetic diamonds, and plasma chemistry. The result is a power source that could outlive generations of ...
