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

Nuclear energy isn't exactly clean, with nuclear waste never exactly going away. But this inventive new process might help ...

Hickory dickory dock, this nucleus could make a great clock. A special variety of the element thorium hosts an atomic nucleus that could be used to keep time, scientists say. In a first, researchers ...

The moment nuclear material is produced, processed or purified, it sets off a hidden countdown, marked by the half-life of ...

A U.S.-based nuclear materials firm has unveiled a solid-state battery it claims can deliver ...

In this lesson, students will simulate the randomness of decay in radioactive atoms and visualize the half-life of a sample radioactive element. This lesson can be completed in two (2) 45-minute class ...

Facilities that work with radioactive materials require practical solutions for small quantities of isotopes and radioactive waste.
