At the Accelerator Laboratory of the University of Zibaskira in Finland, physicists utilized a gas-filled recoil separator focal plane spectrometer to observe two attenuation events of…
The newly discovered isotope plutonium-227 has a half-life of 0.78 seconds, according to a team of Chinese physicists. Areas 87≤Z≤97 and 112≤N≤136 in the nuclear map…
Physicists are Potassium Decay (KDK) Collaboration. They directly observed for the first time a very rare but important decay pathway from potassium-40 to argon-40. Their results…
Tantalum-180m (180mTa) is a rare isotope of tantalum whose decay has never been observed, and whose lifetime is expected to be about a million times longer…
