It is well-known that a radioactive substance follows a fixed exponential decay, no matter what you do to it. The fact has been set in stone since 1930 when the “father” of nuclear physics Ernest ...

Area laws for entanglement in quantum many-body systems give useful information about their low-temperature behaviour and are tightly connected to the possibility of good numerical simulations. An ...

Solar activity: does the Sun affect radioactive decay? Image of a solar flare taken in 2014 by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory spacecraft. (Courtesy: NASA/SDO) A new study of the radioactive decay ...
