Radioactive isotope in ice core record reflects solar activity over 600 years
Washington, July 4 (ANI): Scientists have analyzed Beryllium-10, a radioactive isotope, found from the NGRIP ice core, Greenland, which reflects solar activity over the past 600 years.
Beryllium-10, a radioactive isotope, is produced in cosmic ray showers.
Because stronger solar activity deflects cosmic rays away from Earth, low [...]
Nuke bomb tests can help to identify fake whisky
London, May 3 (ANI): Researchers at the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit, which is funded by the National Environmental Research Council, have discovered that they can pinpoint the date of a whisky by detecting traces of radioactive particles created by nuclear bomb tests in the 1950s.
According to [...]
