Certain types of food wear down your teeth. The longer these foods stick to the surface of your teeth, the more acidic your mouth will become, leading to the formation of cavities. When this happens, ...

How long did it take our Sun to form in its stellar nursery? Scientists are now closer to an answer. They succeeded in the measurement of the bound-state beta decay of fully-ionized thallium ions at ...

It’s also a tasty snack, at least for fungi and insects such as termites. On a molecular level, wood is about three-quarters polymerized sugars that are indigestible to humans and most other animals.

Double beta decay, one of the rarest nuclear processes, offers a unique portal into the fundamental properties of neutrinos and the conservation of lepton number. Experimental strategies have evolved ...

First author of the publication Guy Leckenby works at the storage ring ESR at GSI/FAIR. Current calculations estimate that the formation of our Sun from the progenitor molecular cloud took about a few ...
