New experiments on thallium decay have helped determine the Sun formed over 10–20 million years, improving stellar nucleosynthesis models. Have you ever wondered how long it took our Sun to form in ...

a neutron can split into a positive proton and a negative electron. The proton remains inside the nucleus, but the electron is ejected at high speed. This is called beta decay. Beta decay causes ...

The observation of neutrinoless double beta decay could have important implications for the study of matter and antimatter. In fact, it would confirm that neutrinos and their antiparticles (i.e ...
