At its core, the diamond battery thrives on decay — specifically, the decay of the carbon-14 isotope. Carbon-14 is best known ...

In the most common form of this decay, beta-minus decay ... are now an integral part of the particle physics canon, and perhaps the key to many mysteries about the universe.

Even the Standard Model of particle physics doesn’t explain how frequently ... They measured quark mixing through superallowed nuclear beta decay, a highly precise and fast type of beta decay ...

They exploited the fact that this quantity, the nuclear matrix element, also determines the bound-state beta decay rate of fully ionized 205 Tl 81+ to 205 Pb 81+. The experimental measurement of ...

JON CHASE:'The decay of these unstable elements is known as ionising radiation. 'There are three main types - alpha, beta or gamma. JON CHASE:'Gamma radiation is pure energy, 'but alpha and beta ...

1928-1929 Fellow of Theoretical Physics Institute of the University of Copenhagen ... D.C. During the early years in Washington he collaboratedwith Edward Teller on the theory of beta-decay, and ...
