Scientists have observed a brand-new and exotic atomic nucleus: aluminium-20. Unlike anything seen before, it decays through ...

The debate is between those who see a path to making nuclear waste clean again and those who advocate a more cautious ...

The alchemist's dream is to make gold from common metals, but can this be done? The physics needed to explain how to change ...

A newly discovered aluminium isotope rapidly self-destructs by ejecting three protons in a rare sequence — shaking up our understanding of atomic decay.

For the first time, researchers have observed aluminium-20, a previously unknown and unstable isotope that decays via the ...

A startup energy company, called Marathon Fusion, may soon be living out the dream of alchemists from the Middle Ages. In a ...

Breathing in radon can be dangerous. Its radioactive particles decay in the lungs, releasing small bursts of radiation. Research shows this can damage lung tissue and cause lung cancer.

The radioactive decay is governed by what scientists call the element’s half-life; after one half-life, one half of the atoms of the nuclide will have decayed.

This study focused on how two radioactive isotopes, actinium and radium, become part of these nanocrystals so they can be delivered to cancer cells. Using a combination of experimental synthesis and ...
