Radioactivity
A natural phenomenon during which unstable atomic nuclei transform ("decay"). They emit energy in the form of various radiations, to decay into more stable nuclei that have lost part of their mass. The emitted radiations are called, depending on the case, α rays (Helium nuclei), β rays (electrons or positrons), or γ rays (energetic photons).
