Half-life is the time required for the amount of something to fall to half its initial value. This term is usually used in nuclear physics to describe how quickly unstable atoms undergo decay, or how long stable atoms survive, radioactive decay, and it is also used more generally of any type of exponential or non-exponential decay.
In simpler terms: this is when an isotopes radioactivity is cut in half
