The combined results have allowed the KamLAND team to conclude that the heat flux due to the uranium and thorium decay chains is about 20 TW with an uncertainty of about 8 TW. While the KamLAND ...

Some elements are produced in trace amounts by the decay of other elements. But even the long radioactive decay chain is not enough to produce the ultra-heavy elements at the end of the periodic ...

There are certain things in the Universe that, if you leave them alone for long enough, they’ll eventually decay away. Other things, no matter how long we wait, have never been observed to decay ...

Predicted α-decay chain of new element 119 isotopes (²⁹³,²⁹⁴119), highlighting several as-yet-undiscovered nuclei. The proposed use of ⁴⁰Ar beams offers a promising approach for ...

The observation of these decay chains and the existence of the excited state of copernicium-282 provide important information for physicists developing theoretical models of flerovium-298 and could ...

After many years, they purified enough eka-tantalum for identification and measured its properties. As discoverers of eka-tantalum’s longest-lived isotope, Meitner and Hahn named this new element ...
