Eliminating that excuse, or at least making it statistically implausible, is the idea behind this radioactively random dice roller. It comes to us from [Science Shack] and uses radioactive decay ...

We’ve featured other projects using radioactive decay for random number generation before, though they weren’t quite as philosophically intriguing as the DeDeterminator. Mostly they’re just ...

The film explores the concept of random events and their unpredictable nature, using examples such as radioactive decay and ...

Graph of count rate against time It is possible to find out the half-life of a radioactive substance from a graph of the count rate against time. The graph shows the decay curve for a radioactive ...

Detecting radiation is a fundamental necessity for national security, but doing so effectively and at a distance is a tall ...

In a record-breaking test, researchers remotely detected radioactive material by shooting it with infrared laser pulses and ...

Radioactive decay is a spontaneous and random process. A block of radioactive material will contain many trillions of nuclei and not all nuclei are likely to decay at the same time so it is ...

Radioisotope thermoelectric generators do not rely on chemical reactions like the batteries in your phone. Instead, they rely on the radioactive decay of elements to produce heat and eventually ...
