Certain isotopes such as Indium-115 (In-115) are extremely long lived, taking over 100 trillon years for half of the Indium atoms to decay away. These isotopes allow scientists to probe the precise ...

How long did it take our Sun to form in its stellar nursery? Scientists are now closer to an answer. They succeeded in the measurement of the bound-state beta decay of fully-ionized thallium ions at ...

An elongation versus departure from axial symmetry (triaxiality) plot showing distinctive differences in the shapes of the parent (germanium-76, “rigid”) and daughter (selenium-76, “soft”) nuclei for ...
