It turns out that the widely-used Carbon-14 dating method may be up to 2,000 years off the mark. ”We had not expected to see an effect of 2,000 years. ... This could mean that we have an inaccurate ...

The picture shows weak radio luminescence, captured by a low light intensity camera, from a synthetic diamond carbon film made from beta-emitting carbon-14 atoms. The battery leverages the radioactive ...

Radiocarbon dating, also known as carbon-14 dating, is a method to determine the age of organic materials as old as 60,000 years. First developed in the 1940s at the University of Chicago by Willard ...

At the heart of this battery is carbon-14, an isotope better known for its role in radiocarbon dating. But rather than being used to measure the past, it is now being harnessed to power the future.

Hot Carbon: Carbon-14 and a Revolution in Science John F. Marra Columbia University Press (2019) It is nearly 80 years since the discovery of carbon-14, a radioactive isotope of the sixth element.
