Nuclear Energy: Proton Emission & Astatine

Context:  Researchers at IIT Roorkee have made a breakthrough by detecting and analyzing proton emission from Astatine-188 (¹⁸⁸At), the heaviest known proton-emitting isotope to date. This discovery is significant as it represents the first instance of ground-state proton radioactivity being observed in such a massive isotope. Key Facts About Astatine …
