Nuclear decay and fusion dynamics are critical areas of research in nuclear physics, focusing on how atomic nuclei behave under various conditions. This includes the processes by which unstable ...

The graph shows the decay curve for a radioactive substance. The count rate drops from 80 to 40 counts a minute in two days, so the half-life is two days. In the next two days, it drops from 40 to ...

beta-plus decay does the reverse and turns protons into neutrons. To understand what this, and the weak force, is all about, we first need to mention the strong nuclear force. The strong force ...
