Radioactive decay is the strange and almost mystical ability for one element to naturally and spontaneously transmute into another. In the process, those elements tend to emit deadly forms of ...

Ultrasound triggers anomalous Co-57 decay via Deformed Space-Time effects. Just nanoseconds of sonication induce non-classical nuclear transformations, offering new evidence for Lorentz Invariance ...

In a step toward building a nuclear clock, scientists measured light emitted when a special type of thorium nucleus decayed.

Of course, working with radioactive materials requires a lengthy list of certifications and safety guardrails, but Nature reports the ESA believes it will have everything in place in time for the ...
