Cobalt-60 is a radioactive material that emits lethal gamma radiation. Used in industry, medicine, and even theoretical doomsday weapons, how dangerous is this silent threat? Find out now!

Researchers may have found a way to create a nuclear waste battery that could theoretically run for decades without needing ...

The battery produced 288 nanowatts of power when powered by cesium-137 and 1,500 nanowatts when using the more radioactive cobalt-60 isotope — enough to operate microelectronic systems such as ...

This tiny Cesium-137 source is far less radioactive than the Cobalt-60 sources this message usually applies to. However, it’s still radioactive enough that you don’t want to be anywhere near it.

Dr. Raymond Cao. The prototype, which measures about 4 cubic centimeters, was tested using two radioactive isotopes: cesium-137 and cobalt-60. These isotopes are significant fission byproducts from ...

Bits of stainless steel containing radioactive cobalt-60 were found on maintenance workers as they left the building through a recently installed portal monitor system. Because that system was not yet ...

Gamma radiation has no mass and no charge. It can be written as γ or \(_{0}^{0}\textrm{γ}\) An example of beta and gamma decay of cobalt-60 Beta and gamma decay of cobalt-60: ...
