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 ...
An international team of researchers has systematically measured the β-decay half-lives of 40 nuclei near calcium-54, providing key experimental data for understanding the structure of extremely ...
Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI and the Australian National University have re-determined the half-life of samarium-146 with great precision. The result fits perfectly with the data ...
In May 2016, close to the northern border of Switzerland, radiochemist Zeynep Talip suited up for the hot laboratory (Hotlab) at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), where experiments with radioactive ...
