The radioactive decay data doesn't quite match up with most other solar patterns, which has led Sturrock to suggest that the sun's core, which produces neutrinos, rotates slower than the rest of ...

The Sun is changing the supposedly constant rates of decay of radioactive elements, and we have absolutely no idea why. But an entirely unknown particle could be behind it.

Scientists have observed a brand-new and exotic atomic nucleus: aluminium-20. Unlike anything seen before, it decays through ...

Here’s a hypothesis for you: radioactive decay varies over time, possibly with a yearly cycle. [Panteltje] decided to test this hypothesis, and so far has two year’s worth of data to comb over.

The radioactive decay likely has been powering the glowing remnant around the exploded star for the past 20 years. Stars are like nuclear furnaces, continuously fusing hydrogen into helium in ...

Radioactive decay can be easily detected with a photomultiplier tube, but these tubes are sensitive to magnetic fields and cosmic rays that would easily fly through just about any shielding ...

"Physicists measured something new in the radioactive decay of neutrons." ScienceDaily. ScienceDaily, 14 June 2016. <www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2016 / 06 / 160614212454.htm>.

Water, some radioactive decay, a bit of sulfide—“and then you get a sustained system of energy production that can last for billions of years … like an ambient pulse of habitability,” says ...
