Alpha particles are a powerful cancer-killing tool, directly damaging tumour cell DNA regardless of the level of oxygenation or cell cycle stage. The downside of alpha particles is their extremely ...

LONDON, UK, 4 March 2025 - In a comprehensive Genomic Press Viewpoint (review) article, researchers are shining a spotlight on a revolutionary approach to tackling neuroendocrine tumours (NETs), a ...

A team of fusion researchers succeeded in proving that energetic ions with energy in mega electron volt (MeV) range are superiorly confined in a plasma for the first time in helical systems. This ...

Scientists from an international collaboration have found evidence of alpha particles at the surface of neutron-rich heavy nuclei, providing new insights into the structure of neutron stars, as well ...

If you want to measure radioactivity, nothing really beats a Geiger counter: compact, rugged, and reasonably easy to use, they’re by far the most commonly used tool to detect ionizing radiation.

Radioactivity is the act of emitting radiation spontaneously and is done by an atomic nucleus (unstable) to attain a more stable configuration by giving up some energy. Radioactivity is a physical, ...

A team of fusion researchers demonstrated that ions with energy in mega electron volt range are superiorly confined in a plasma for the first time in helical systems. This promises alpha particle ...

Scientists have found evidence of alpha particles at the surface of neutron-rich heavy nuclei, providing new insights into the structure of neutron stars, as well as the process of alpha decay.
