^{4}\textrm{He}\) When a radioactive atom emits an alpha particle the mass number decreases by four and the atomic number drops by two. Here is the equation for the alpha decay of radon-219 into ...

A team led by Su-Il In, a professor at South Korea's Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology, is developing an ...

Nuclear waste becomes less dangerous over time on its own, because nuclear decay is a spontaneous reaction that will happen of its own accord. Even radioactive elements that decay into other ...

In recent years, some large physics experiments worldwide have been trying to gather evidence of a nuclear process known as ...

Example nuclear reactions include radioactive decay, fission, the break-up of a nucleus, and fusion, the merging of nuclei. Strongly correlated systems exhibit universal dynamics near phase ...

Researchers from Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology have presented a new concept of a nuclear battery capable of ...

Radioisotope thermoelectric generators do not rely on chemical reactions like the batteries in your phone. Instead, they rely on the radioactive decay of elements to produce heat and eventually ...
