Doctors will order a chloride sweat test for kids with positive newborn screen for cystic fibrosis, a family history of cystic fibrosis, or symptoms of the disorder. Symptoms and signs include failure to grow, repeated lung infections, and digestive problems.
In nuclear physics, beta decay (Î²-decay) is a type of radioactive decay in which a beta ray, and a respective neutrino are emitted from an atomic nucleus.
Hot Dark Matter. This elusive particle was predicted to exist as early as 1931 by physicist Wolfgang Pauli in order to account for the conservation of momentum and energy in beta decay. Beta decay is a process whereby a free neutron, after roughly 12 minutes, decays into an electron, proton, and an electron anti-neutrino.
