Radioactive decay

The next flagship mission we have is called Gigantas I. Gigantas is the word Enceladus in Greeks, which means a very bright satellite of Saturn. By sending a space orbiter and a lander to the sixth largest moon of Saturn and the brightest world in the solar system (NASA, 2015), We can easily accomplish this researching mission and bring lots of valuable data back to earth. Enceladus, with approximately 310 miles diameters, is one tenth of the Saturn’s largest moon. (NolaTRedd, 2016) It was…

and nuclear processes. The most notable of these processes is transmutation. Transmutation refers to the action that changes an atom of a specific element to a different element, either naturally or artificially. Natural transmutations are the radioactive decay of a large, unstable isotope into a more stable, less massive sample. These types of changes to the nucleus occur naturally as the particle tries to restore its stability. In…

Radiation Therapy What is Radiation Therapy? Radiation therapy is one of the most common, innovative and successful forms of cancer treatments of the modern world. It can successfully treat and cure approximately 50 unique forms of cancer1, utilizing alpha, beta and gamma radiation to destroy or damage cancer cells2. This helps prevent the rapid multiplication of the destructive cells, with minimal impact upon the somatic cells surrounding the cancerous area, and treats both primary, and…

Over the past century, transportation of goods across borders and into other countries became an important economical system for many civilizations across the globe. With that, a wide range of hazardous products have also been shipped away from developing countries to more modern institutes. The transportation of goods has been greatly affecting the economy of many countries in good and bad ways. Industrial by-products, poisonous pesticides, and nuclear waste all have to go somewhere. In most…

For the past few generations, many Theologists, Evolutionist, and Atheist have debated over how human beings came into existence. Many Evolutionist, believe that the human race was created by the big bang and we evolved over the years. The question that I have for many evolutionist, is Who is the true Big Banger? Many Evolutionist claim that there is enough evidence to prove that there isn 't a creator. The evolutionist has the script flipped. There is enough evidence to prove that there is a…

People are awake the majority of the day, but a large portion of the day is consumed by sleeping. A good night’s rest is essential because without an appropriate amount of sleep, the hours spent awake can become impacted. Unfortunately, sleep disorders can affect a person’s sleeping abilities. Narcolepsy is one example of a sleep disorder that will affect someone at night and through the day. Narcolepsy can be defined as a neurological disorder where the person experiences daytime sleepiness…

bad damage to the earth for many reasons. It has been a big problem ever since it started. There are many types of pollution problems such as air pollution, water pollution, soil pollution, noise pollution, light pollution, thermal pollution, and radioactive pollution. Air pollution is…

plutonium Cassini-Huygens was aided in launching through the Earth’s orbit and into an interplanetary trajectory by Titan-IVB/Centaur (ESA, 2015). Parts of the spacecraft were powered through different ways where Cassini was fuelled through the radioactive decay of plutonium where heat was converted into electrical energy and Huygens used chemical reactions in batteries when landing on Titan. In order to safely move through the celestial objects and to save on fuel, Cassini-Huygens used…

compressed sediments. To why we believe the place was roamed with dinosaur as the Morrison formation is deposited near a flooded river or lake which have soft soil for dinosaur to implant dinosaur prints and the site itself is giving out radioactive which is from carnotite decays to uranium as the dinosaur bones are deposited with this element because its porous property, thus letting the ground water to passed through it. The Morrison formation have minerals such as hematite, quartz and clay…
