Decay research is a field of study that focuses on understanding the process of decay in various systems, such as biological organisms, environmental materials, or physical objects. Decay refers to the natural breakdown of substances or structures over time due to factors such as environmental conditions, chemical reactions, or biological processes. Researchers in this area study the mechanisms and factors that contribute to decay, as well as ways to prevent or mitigate it. The study of decay can have applications in fields such as biology, environmental science, archaeology, and material science.
