Hi,
I has talking to someone aboutthe half lives of certain radioactive isotopes not be constant. He cited this paper:
Chih-An Huh, “Dependence of the Decay Rate of 7Be on Chemical Forms,” Earth and Planetary Science Letters 171(1999):325-328
And it seems that they can change, and quite considerably, to within around 1% or so. So my question is, would this be valid for all radioactive isotopes or just certain ones?
