These Crosscutting Concepts and Science and Engineering Practices provide a comprehensive approach to understanding and teaching the principles of radioactivity within the framework of the NGSS.

A New Science. The beginnings. The setting ; Rays and radiation ; Becquerel's discovery -- The Curies. Maria Skłodowska ; A consequential meeting ; New elements! -- Rutherford, Soddy, particles, and ...

This video excerpt explores the theorization of the Weak Force as it relates to the understanding of radioactive decay, with ...

“Probably the most useful tool for research since the discovery of the microscope” was described in detail last week by Dr. Joseph G. Hamilton of the University of California. The tool he referred to ...

Radioactivity is defined as the release of energy by means of radiation in atoms. It was first discovered in the year 1896 by Henri Becquerel, who carried out further experiments in conjunction with ...

In Paris, not far from the Panthéon, is a crooked little byway once called the Rue des Postes. From that byway last week came two words in a combination new to physicists the world over: artificial ...

TOKYO -- A research team including members of the University of Tsukuba and National Taiwan University has clarified the ...

The Rhisotope Project is embedding radioactive isotopes in the horns of rhinos in an effort to prevent poaching. Rhinos previously injected with the isotopes during Rhisotope's test phase turned out ...

At a time when modern science seems under siege, a pair of movies, "Radioactive" and "Tesla," celebrate the field -- not as it stands today, but through biographies that train a slightly fractured ...

The future of our spacecraft could all come down to diamonds. While diamonds are often regarded as one of the hardest materials in existence, these hard gems, more specifically radioactive diamonds, ...

When cells are exposed to ionizing radiation, more destructive chain reactions may occur than previously thought. An international team led by researchers has now observed intermolecular Coulombic ...
