  "term": "Radioactive age",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The time elapsed since the formation of a material, determined by measuring the relative abundances of a radioactive parent nuclide and its stable daughter products. This dating method relies on the known, constant decay rates of specific radioisotopes. It is widely used in geology and archaeology.",
