“The mass and the antiparticle nature of neutrinos can be studied by measuring the radioactive beta and double-beta decays of ...

Of the four known fundamental forces of nature, the weak nuclear force is the one with the least obvious purpose. Gravity ...

Radionuclide metrology and beta decay studies represent a cornerstone of modern nuclear science, merging refined measurement techniques with advanced theoretical modelling to quantify radioactivity ...

"During each beta-minus decay the orbiting (atomic) electron is impacted because of two reasons. Firstly, the total electric charge of the nucleus is changing since three protons are suddenly ...

How long did it take our Sun to form in its stellar nursery? Scientists are now closer to an answer. They succeeded in the measurement of the bound-state beta decay of fully-ionized thallium ions at ...
