Everything CCEA students need to know about radioactive decay and half-life for GCSE Physics.

Alpha particles, also known as alpha radiation, are the star players in the game of alpha decay — here's everything you need to know.

Left: “Mirror” nuclei lithium-8 and boron-8 undergo beta decay, then split into two alpha particles. Right: Radioactive ions from the ATLAS accelerator at Argonne National Laboratory are ...

Researchers have observed a rare nuclear decay. Namely, the team measured low-kinetic-energy protons emitted after the beta decay of a neutron-rich nucleus beryllium-11.
