For the first time, researchers have developed a way to create chilled molecules containing the radioactive element radium.
Caltech researchers have created cold molecules containing the radioactive element radium for the first ...
Radioactive potassium, common enough on Earth to make potassium-rich bananas one of the “hottest” foods around, appears also to be a substantial source of heat in the Earth’s core, according to recent ...
Two decades in the making, a new flagship facility for nuclear physics opened on May 2, and scientists from the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have a hand in 10 of its first 34 ...
Polly Arnold is drawn to challenging problems at the far reaches of the periodic table. “It’s all about the f block,” she says of the work in her group, which is split between the University of ...
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 ...
SNOLAB scientists meticulously measure the signals that interfere with sensitive physics experiments. If the blender is on while you’re watching TV, its whirring may make it difficult for you to hear ...
Chemists could more readily study the properties of rare radioactive materials by bonding them to bulky companions 1. Some of the radioactive elements known as actinides are so scarce that just a few ...
