radioactivity
By Sercer, Section Ask SciScoop Posted on Thu May 25, 2006 at 11:20:08 PM PST
I was wondering if there are any materials that shed electrons as a form of radiation.

Please bear with me if the terminology i use may be incorrect.  There are radioactive materials that shed neutrons as radiation.  I also remember hearing about protons being shed as a form of radiation.  But I don't know if there any materials that shed electrons as a form of radiation?  If such a material exists or can be produced, would it be possible to use these shed electrons as a source of electricity?
