Washington, DC - Appearing as Inspector Harry Callahan, Clint Eastwood added a famous phrase to the lexicon. As a suspect pondered his next move, Callahan invited him to consider the consequences of his actions: “You’ve got to ask yourself this question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya?” The context is much different, of course, but a telephone honeypot, an investigative tool used in a law enforcement action filed by the FTC and the Florida Attorney General, suggests that robocallers might want to ask themselves a similar question.
Physicists measured something new in the radioactive decay of neutrons.
- Details
- Written by Chad Boutin
A physics experiment performed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has enhanced scientists’ understanding of how free neutrons decay into other particles. The work provides the first measurement of the energy spectrum of photons, or particles of light, that are released in the otherwise extensively measured process known as neutron beta decay. The details of this decay process are important because, for example, they help to explain the observed amounts of hydrogen and other light atoms created just after the Big Bang.
