Artificial radioactivity is a term used to describe the process of creating radioactive isotopes in a laboratory setting. Synonyms for this term include induced radioactivity, synthetic radioactivity, and laboratory-produced radioactivity. These isotopes are created by bombarding stable atoms with high-energy particles, such as neutrons or protons, which causes the atoms to become unstable and emit radiation. The use of artificial radioactivity has many important applications in fields such as medicine, industry, and research. Understanding how to create and control these isotopes is critical to advancing our knowledge of the world around us and improving the lives of people everywhere.
