In this lesson, students will simulate the randomness of decay in radioactive atoms and visualize the half-life of a sample radioactive element. This lesson can be completed in two (2) 45-minute class ...
In this lesson, students will investigate the nature of radioactivity and the effect of both distance and shielding materials on different radioactive sources using a Geiger-Muller tube with a counter ...
The detection and study of isotopes, atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons, could expand the ...
Kyle Clavier, left, and Dan Clayton are helping develop a standardized screening method to determine the most important radioactive isotopes to monitor from all of those produced by an advanced ...
Nobel laureate Otto Hahn is credited with the discovery of nuclear fission. Fission is one of the most important discoveries of the 20th century, yet Hahn considered something else to be his best ...
Computer rendering of the experimental setup to detect decay signatures of isotopes. A beam of excited sodium-32 nuclei implants and decays in the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams Decay Station ...
Just a few hundred feet from where we are sitting is a large metal chamber devoid of air and draped with the wires needed to control the instruments inside. A beam of particles passes through the ...
