When probing the deepest reaches of the Cosmos or magnifying our understanding of the quantum world, a whole host of mysteries present themselves. This is to be expected when pushing our knowledge of ...

Researchers may have discovered a new method to predict solar flares more than a day before they occur, providing advance warning to help protect satellites, power grids and astronauts 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 ...

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 ...

Working at a nuclear research centre as I do, I found Justin Mullins’s article on seasonal variations in radioactive decay most intriguing (27 June, p 42). The most dramatic change in radioactive ...

What is your opinion on those results? I can't find many studies. The most important paper seem to be this. The reported variability is quite big, I would think that it would be quite easy to set up a ...

I read your article on apparent seasonal changes in radioactive decay rates (17 November, p 42). If I understand Jere Jenkins and Ephraim Fischbach’s paper correctly, they have detected a ...
