Laser allows long-range detection of radioactive materials
The Hindu 01 Apr 2025
When some material undergoes radioactive decay, the charged particles it releases travel through the air and ionise it, i.e. separate its positive and negative charges and create a state of matter called plasma ....

Physicist Thinks He May Have Solved The Time Travel "Grandfather Paradox", But There's A Twist
IFL Science 29 Mar 2025
"As one would expect, the particle spontaneously decays close to τ = 0, and it remains decayed for almost the whole journey. However, as τ approaches [the beginning of the loop], the particle is ...

New radiocarbon-powered nuclear battery can run for millennia without recharging
Interesting Engineering 26 Mar 2025
While nuclear batteries generate power by harnessing high-energy particles from radioactive materials, not all radioactive elements emit harmful radiation ... “As radiocarbon undergoes beta decay, it emits beta particles,” In says.

Might the proton decay in other places or at other times?
Phys Dot Org 24 Mar 2025
If the dark matter particle's mass is less than the proton mass minus the pion mass, then the proton decay could be much faster than laboratory experiments imply, such as the limit from the Super-Kamiokande neutrino detector in Japan.

Nation's first C-14 nuclear battery developed in Gansu
ECNS 17 Mar 2025
The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the amount of time it takes for one-half of the radioactive isotope to decay. As C-14 decays, it emits beta particles that interact with the siliconcarbide semiconductor, producing a steady flow of electrons.
