For the basic model for exponential decay, there is a decay constant, which is related to the half-life. The decay constant multiplied by the number of particles should give the decay rate per second ...

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 ...

Developing and Using Models: Creating models to explain and predict radioactive decay processes. (Example: Conducting experiments to observe how distance and shielding materials affect exposure to ...

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 a random moment, all energy is lost. The unstable subject cannot help but decay, slowly but surely, letting go of particles to become stable. It loses itself to become balanced again. This is a ...
