Potassium-40 is a naturally-occurring isotope whose radioactivity impacts estimated geological ages spanning billions of years, nuclear structure theory, and subatomic rare-event searches -- including those for dark matter and neutrinoless double-beta decay. The decays of this long-lived isotope mus...
