How does Radiocarbon Dating Work?

We take a look at how scientists use the presence of radioactive carbon-14 atoms in nature to determine the age of ancient artifacts.

Nuclear Radiation can be very dangerous but it can also be very useful to us.
The Shedding Light on Nuclear Radiation series makes it easy to learn all the essentials of nuclear radiation, including
• atomic structure, isotopes, and nuclides;
• what alpha, beta, and gamma radiation are and how we have learned to harness their power and;
• the concept of half-life.
• radiocarbon dating
