Further research by scientists like Ernest Rutherford categorized radioactive emissions into alpha, beta, and gamma rays, ... X-Rays: The Discovery that Revolutionized Science (1895) Posted: March ...

Alpha radiation is actually an entire helium nucleus (two protons and two neutrons) splintered off larger elements. Beta radiation is an electron ejected when a proton turns into a neutron.

The use of other radiations (except X-rays), for example, alpha-and beta-rays, recoil atoms and accelerated ions for similar purposes does not seem to have been described.

In 1964 the first superheavy element created was rutherfordium, which has 104 protons. It was synthesized at both JINR and LBNL and named after Ernest Rutherford (1871–1937). He was a New Zealand ...

One famed Egyptologist tells CBS News he believes there's "something important underneath the corridor," as the 4,500-year-old pyramid clings to its secrets.

The findings of an international research team were announced at a news conference with Egyptian officials outside the 456-foot-tall pyramid.
