Fusion and beyond! From the NOVA's "Origins" miniseries, host Neil deGrasse Tyson guides us on a journey into the mysteries of the universe, the Earth, and life itself. Contributed by lydia.daniel     Interactive Simulations on Nuclear Decay   Description: A large number of simulations and games that help to understand atomic structure, nuclear decay processes, half-life, and carbon dating. Contributed by Chiara Neto     Radioactive Dating Game   Description: Learn about different types of radiometric dating, such as carbon dating. Understand how decay and half life work to enable radiometric dating. Play a game that tests your ability to match the percentage of the dating element that remains to the age of the object.
