Radioactivity
Remember the spider from the movie “Spiderman”? Well, he was radioactive, and responsible for making an ordinary humble boy into a super hero! So, that is just a snippet of the power of radio activity. Read on to know more about all that it can do!
Carbon Dating Accuracy
Carbon dating or radiocarbon dating is a method to determine the age of objects from antiquity. Lately, carbon dating accuracy has been a matter of debate. The accuracy of carbon dating is doubted due to certain perceived flaws in its fundamental assumptions and ambiguous results. Here I explore the error levels of carbon dating method.
List of Radioactive Elements
A radioactive element is an element with an unstable nucleus, which radiates alpha, beta or gamma radiation and gets converted to a stable element.
