Astatine is the rarest naturally occurring element on Earth and one of the least studied within the periodic table, mostly ...

In a study published in Physical Review Letters, scientists at GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung have discovered ...

This could open up newer possibilities in making superheavy elements in the lab and understanding nuclear stability at higher ...

Physicists detect nuclear decay in the recoil of a levitating sphere In the work that won the Physics World award last year, the team used samples of radon-220, which decays first into polonium-216 ...

Orano Med, a subsidiary of the Orano Group and a pioneer in radioligand therapies in oncology, today inaugurated the expansion of its main Research and Development Center located in Plano, Texas (USA) ...

Despite its promise, TAT is not without obstacles. Alpha-emitters like 213Bi decay rapidly, complicating production and delivery, and alpha emitters like 213Bi and 225Ac can be complex to source.

And when the particles decay into alpha and beta particles, the sphere, which is like a skateboard, will be recoiled,” Wang said. “We sense how much this is recoiled to measure how much the product of ...

An alpha particle is composed of 2 protons and neutrons. Gamow’s theory states that although the Coulomb force between particles existing in the nucleus of radioactive material is much higher, alpha ...

A deuterium-tritium (DT) associated particle neutron generator (APNG) with active focusing has been operated using an alpha particle detector made of a ZnO:Ga phosphor with decay time of approximately ...

Despite the 125 years that have elapsed since Ernest Rutherford first figured out that the particles emitted during alpha decay amounted to a helium nucleus comprising two neutrons and two protons, ...
