Yale researchers are analyzing lead ingots discovered in the mid-1990s from the wreck of a Roman Late Republican Vessel a few ...

Beta (\(\beta^-\)) decay is the release of an electron by the change of a neutron to a proton. The neutron (charge = 0) is made up of one up quark (charge = \(\frac{2}{3}\)) and two down quarks ...

Such was the case with the discovery and investigation of the radioactive process termed 'beta decay'. In this process an atomic nucleus spontaneously emits either a negative or positive electron ...

Here is the equation for the alpha decay of radon-219 into polonium. Beta decay involves the conversion of a down quark to an up quark. This changes a neutron into a proton plus an electron.

The effects of the weak force were first discovered at the turn of the 20th century, in the place where it is most obviously at work: in radioactive beta decay. In the most common form of this ...

Scientists have for the first time mechanically detected individual nuclear decays occurring in a microparticle. The research ...

Undead Labs has announced that State of Decay 2 updates will come to an end after a forthcoming final update later this year.

A scintillating aerogel enabling real-time measurements with excellent sensitivity to certain radioactive gases, essential to ...

Isotopes of natural uranium decay by emitting mainly alpha particles. The emission of beta particles and gamma radiations are low. The table below shows the average energies per transformation emitted ...

The decay has essentially four reasons: beta-slippage, roll yield, tracking errors, management costs. To understand what is beta-slippage, imagine a very volatile asset that goes up 25% one day ...
