One of the first things that Physics students learn when they study radioactivity is the idea of the half-life. A half-life is the period of time in which it takes one-half of a given amount of a ...
Researchers refute the assumption that the decay rate of some radioactive nuclides depends on the distance between the Earth and the Sun. PTB researchers refute the assumption that the decay rate of ...
Solar effect: do neutrinos from the Sun affect beta decay on Earth? (Courtesy: NASA/SDO) Further evidence that solar neutrinos affect radioactive decay rates on Earth has been put forth by a trio of ...
