A team of researchers in France are building on fundamental experimental research undertaken in the Ukrainian Chornobyl ...

From cosmic rays to CT scans, radiation surrounds us but not all exposure is dangerous. Here’s how to separate fact from fear ...

Scientists have developed a supercooled sensor that delivers full radioactivity profiles without chemical tracers.

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated a new and faster method for ...

Today we're talking all about Carbon 14 dating; isotopes, beta decay, half lives, the whole lot! It's a complicated process, but nothing we can't get through together!

Physicists develop innovative technique using carbon-dioxide lasers to detect radioactive materials from safe distances for national defence and emergency response.

The "Gilbert U-238 Atomic Energy Laboratory" contains four real and radioactive uranium ores for kids to experiment with.

This strange new battery, developed by scientists from the UKAEA and Britain's University of Bristol, works by using the radioactive decay of the carbon-14 isotope contained within a diamond.

Radioactive sources contain radioactive material of a particular radionuclide (an unstable form of an element emitting radiation), which can vary based on the application for which the source was ...

Observing the recoil caused by a single radioactive decay could help physicists spot exotic particles and possibly even dark matter.
