Scientists have gained insights into the weak nuclear force from new, more sensitive studies of the beta decays of the 'mirror' nuclei lithium-8 and boron-8. The weak nuclear force drives the ...

The weak force is one of the four fundamental forces that govern all matter in the universe. Through the process of beta decay, it plays a crucial role in powering stars and creating elements.

The Eastman Kodak Co. has come up with a line of intensifying screens for autoradiography that will make fluorography a distant memory. The first of its kind that can be used with weak beta emitters, ...

Astronomers have discovered ultra-weak magnetic fields in Beta Ursae Majoris and Theta Leonis, two metallic-line stars. Obtained from deep spectropolarimetric analysis, the results may be proof ...
