The questions in this quiz are suitable for GCSE physics students studying stable nuclei, nuclear radiation, half life and nuclear equations. If you struggled with the quiz, don't panic - we've got ...

Anomalies in the radioactive decay of beryllium-8 and helium-4 point to the existence of a new force of nature. That is the conclusion of a group of theorists in the US, who have scrutinized data from ...

A team of Italian researchers has uncovered compelling evidence of anomalous radioactive decay in cobalt-57 (Co-57) under ultrasonic stimulation, offering strong experimental support for the Deformed ...

Different isotopes have different half-lives. Plutonium-239 has a half-life of 24,100 years but plutonium-241 has a half-life of only 14.4 years. The half-life of a particular isotope is unaffected by ...

If you’ve been a science fan for the last few years, you’re aware of the exciting results to emerge from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which in 2012 found the Higgs boson, the subatomic particle ...
