Thulium-170 has a binding energy of 8 105.5144(43) keV per nucleon and a half-life of 128.6 ± 0.3 d.It decays by β − decay to 170 Yb about 99.869% of the time, and by electron capture to 170 Er about 0.131% of the time. [1]

Naturally occurring thulium (69 Tm) is composed of one stable isotope, 169 Tm (100% natural abundance).Thirty-nine radioisotopes have been characterized, with the most stable being 171 Tm with a half-life of 1.92 years, 170 Tm with a half-life of 128.6 days, 168 Tm with a half-life of 93.1 days, and 167 Tm with a half-life of 9.25 days.
Thulium-169 is thulium's only primordial isotope and is the only isotope of thulium that is thought to be stable; it is predicted to undergo alpha decay to holmium-165 with a very long half-life. [ 10 ] [ 22 ] The longest-lived radioisotopes are thulium-171, which has a half-life of 1.92 years, and thulium-170 , which has a half-life of 128.6 days.

One of the primordial nuclides is tantalum-180m, which is predicted to have a half-life in excess of 10 15 years, but has never been observed to decay. The even-longer half-life of 2.2 × 10 24 years of tellurium-128 was measured by a unique method of detecting its radiogenic daughter xenon-128 and is the longest known experimentally measured ...
People diagnosed with dementia have up to 10 times more microplastics present in their brains than those without the condition, a new study has found.
Over 60 nuclides that have half-lives too short to be primordial can be detected in nature as a result of later production by natural processes, mostly in trace amounts. These include ~44 radionuclides occurring in the decay chains of primordial uranium and thorium ( radiogenic nuclides ), such as radon-222 .
