These Crosscutting Concepts and Science and Engineering Practices provide a comprehensive approach to understanding and teaching the principles of radioactivity within the framework of the NGSS.

This video excerpt explores the theorization of the Weak Force as it relates to the understanding of radioactive decay, with ...

A New Science. The beginnings. The setting ; Rays and radiation ; Becquerel's discovery -- The Curies. Maria Skłodowska ; A consequential meeting ; New elements! -- Rutherford, Soddy, particles, and ...

In Paris, not far from the Panthéon, is a crooked little byway once called the Rue des Postes. From that byway last week came two words in a combination new to physicists the world over: artificial ...

“Probably the most useful tool for research since the discovery of the microscope” was described in detail last week by Dr. Joseph G. Hamilton of the University of California. The tool he referred to ...

Radioactivity is defined as the release of energy by means of radiation in atoms. It was first discovered in the year 1896 by Henri Becquerel, who carried out further experiments in conjunction with ...

The Rhisotope Project is embedding radioactive isotopes in the horns of rhinos in an effort to prevent poaching. Rhinos previously injected with the isotopes during Rhisotope's test phase turned out ...

The nuclei of certain atoms are stable and under ordinary circumstances, stable nuclei do not undergo change. The nuclei of other atoms are unstable. These nuclei undergo change spontaneously, that is ...

At a time when modern science seems under siege, a pair of movies, "Radioactive" and "Tesla," celebrate the field -- not as it stands today, but through biographies that train a slightly fractured ...

Four kilometres beneath the surface of the Atlantic Ocean, beyond the reach of sunlight and far from shipping lanes, lies a ...

The future of our spacecraft could all come down to diamonds. While diamonds are often regarded as one of the hardest materials in existence, these hard gems, more specifically radioactive diamonds, ...
