"Radioactive nuclei" are atoms that have unstable centers and release energy in the form of radiation.

Maintained records, such as pharmacy files, patient profiles, charge system files, inventories, control records
for radioactive nuclei, or registries of poisons, narcotics, or controlled drugs.
In a project that began last month, researchers will transport antimatter by truck and then use it to study the strange behaviour of
rare radioactive nuclei.
«Enriching our knowledge of the structures of highly unstable nuclei and the nucleon - nucleon forces that drive nuclear shell evolution and the appearance or disappearance of the nuclear magic numbers
in radioactive nuclei plays an important role in understanding astrophysical processes such as nucleosynthesis in stars,» he adds.
The research team, led by University of Minnesota School of Physics and Astronomy Professor Yong - Zhong Qian, decided to focus on short - lived
radioactive nuclei only present in the early solar system.
Inside this target, projectile fragmentation of the 55Sc and 56Ti nuclei occurred, creating numerous
new radioactive nuclei, some in excited states.
Now, however, physicists with Daya Bay report data that support a much simpler explanation: Scientists are merely overestimating the number of neutrinos born from the
various radioactive nuclei produced in the fission of one component of standard nuclear fuel.
We
know radioactive nuclei have excess energy, continually vibrate, and are always on the verge of «flying apart» (i.e., decaying).
Maintain records, such as pharmacy files, patient profiles, charge system files, inventories, control records
for radioactive nuclei, or registries of poisons, narcotics, or controlled drugs.
Because antiprotons annihilate so readily, both with protons and with neutrons, they present a unique way to study the unusual configurations
of radioactive nuclei.
Researchers intend to transport the elusive material between labs and use it to study the strange behavior of rare radioactive nuclei
In order for K - 40 to decay by electron capture, there has to be an electron (for
the radioactive nucleus) to capture.
The EPR authors described a source, such as
a radioactive nucleus, that shot out pairs of particles with the same speed but in opposite directions.
When
a radioactive nucleus decays, it does so spontaneously; no rule will tell you when or why.
The researchers measured the energy of the γ rays emitted from excited states of
the radioactive nuclei using an array of 186 detectors surrounding the reaction target.
However, it has recently been shown that the traditional magic numbers, which were once thought to be robust and common for all nuclei, can in fact change in unstable,
radioactive nuclei that have a large imbalance of protons and neutrons.
Maintains records, such as pharmacy files, patient profiles, charge system files, inventories, control records for
radioactive nuclei, and registries of poisons, narcotics, and controlled drugs.
