Find your starting point

What are you working on?

Check source activity

Move between Bq and Ci before comparing source labels, laboratory notes or reference values.

Convert activity →

Understand a half-life

See the fraction remaining as time passes, then use the app for broader nuclide data and decay calculations.

Explore decay →

Learn common nuclides

Search isotope half-lives, decay modes and natural abundance, then open a decay calculation.

Browse nuclides →

What it does

From an isotope lookup to your next calculation.

Explore the app by task: find nuclear data, work through decay calculations, or consult radiation and material references.

Try it in your browser

Start with a quick answer. No install needed.

Convert Bq and Ci, explore half-lives, or browse eight common nuclides. These browser tools are free to use without an account; calculation inputs stay in your browser.

RADIOACTIVE DECAY

How much remains after each half-life?

Choose a nuclide, then move through time to see exponential decay.

1.0 T½
Cs-137 Half-life: 30.05 years
Remaining activity 50.0%

Relative activity follows A/A₀ = (1/2)ⁿ.

Why get the app?

Go beyond the browser examples.

A broader nuclear data library

Move beyond the eight web learning cards to nuclide data, decay chains, radiation energies and emission probabilities.

Connected reference tools

Bring element properties, nuclide references, decay calculations and unit conversions together in one app.

Reference data you can carry

Bundled reference data is available offline. Online resources and some advanced features require connectivity or additional access.

Professional workflow studio

Move from reference data to practical intuition.

Three browser-based sandboxes reveal how Nuclides connects nuclear data, radiation protection, nuclear medicine, and material references.

DISTANCE + SHIELDING

See how geometry and shielding reshape a field.

DATA FOUNDATION

From element to emission line.

Search elements and nuclides, open decay data, and move directly into calculations.

    Built for

    A reference for the questions you meet every day.

    Use Nuclides alongside your established procedures, whether you work with radiation sources, study nuclear science, or teach the next cohort.

    In the lab & in the field

    • Look up a nuclide’s half-life and radiation emissions
    • Convert source activity between Bq, MBq, Ci and mCi
    • Review decay over a chosen time interval
    • Consult radiation protection and source references

    At your desk & in the classroom

    • Explore nuclides used in PET and SPECT
    • Connect emission energies with decay data
    • Explain exponential decay with interactive examples
    • Look up element properties and nuclear facilities

    Reference suite

    Physical constants, material densities, and conversions.

    Keep critical numbers at hand: densities of common materials, radiation constants, and unit conversions for activity, dose, pressure, length, area, and flow.

    Optional in-app purchases are available to unlock advanced features.

    Before you download

    A few practical questions.

    Can I use Nuclides without installing the app?

    Yes. The activity converter, decay explorer, peak challenge and eight nuclide learning cards on this page are free browser tools. They are a limited preview of the app.

    What does the app add?

    A broader nuclide library, connected references and calculators, and bundled offline data. Some advanced features use in-app purchases; check your platform’s store listing for current details.

    Can I use the web examples for clinical or safety decisions?

    The interactive examples support learning and reference. They do not replace a validated measurement method, a clinical protocol or a shielding assessment.

    Keep Nuclides ready for your next question.
