Ordered amorphous carbon clusters (OACC)

Physics; Particle physics

An ultra-hard carbon crystal created artificially by subjecting solvated carbon-60 molecules to extremely high pressures more than 300,000 times than that of atmosphere. The resulting carbon, known ...

Ampere

Physics; Particle physics

A unit used to measure electric current and is measured how great a charge passes a given point in a second.

Radioactive decay

Physics; Particle physics

The natural breakdown of the nucleus of a radioactive chemical element. Radioactive decay releases energy in the form of radiation.

Allotropic forms

Physics; Particle physics

Elements with several different physical properties and different structure as diamond and graphite have diiferent properties and both made of carbon.

Alpha particle

Physics; Particle physics

The nucleus of helium (two protons and two neutrons)emitted as radiation from a decaying nucleus.

Half-life

Physics; Particle physics

The length of time needed for half of an amount of a radioactive element to decay, is called as half-life.
