Solar activity: does the Sun affect radioactive decay? Image of a solar flare taken in 2014 by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory spacecraft. (Courtesy: NASA/SDO) A new study of the radioactive decay ...
Certain isotopes such as Indium-115 (In-115) are extremely long lived, taking over 100 trillon years for half of the Indium atoms to decay away. These isotopes allow scientists to probe the precise ...
An international collaboration led by the Fritz Haber Institute (FHI) has successfully mapped Electron-Transfer-Mediated ...
Together with an international team, researchers from the Molecular Physics Department at the Fritz Haber Institute have revealed how atoms rearrange themselves before releasing low-energy electrons ...
An experiment at the Brookhaven National Laboratory in the US may have found further evidence of new physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. The E949 team has detected twice as many ...
Researchers have uncovered how atoms subtly rearrange themselves for up to a trillionth of a second before releasing ...
In nuclear beta decay an up quark ‘u’ in a proton converts into an up down quark ‘d,’ turning the proton into a neutron and emitting a positron and a neutrino. This work affects interpretation of beta ...
The Map shows the effects of a 4800 nT/min geomagnetic field disturbance at 50° geomagnetic latitude scenario. The regions outlined are susceptible to electrical grid collapse due to the effects of ...
The standard model is at a crossroads. It has been very successful in describing elementary particles and their interactions, but such particles comprise only 4% of the known Universe. The theory does ...
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 ...
