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 ...

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 ...

BOMBARDMENT of stressed single crystals of cadmium by alpha-particles was found by Andrade 1 to cause a marked increase in the rate of glide under certain conditions. The crystals were stressed so as ...

Physicists in France have measured the longest ever radioactive half-life - over twenty billion billion years - in a naturally occurring element that decays by emitting alpha-particles. Nőel Coron and ...

Two teams of nuclear physicists have carried out the most sensitive measurements yet of how an excited form of carbon-12 known as the Hoyle state breaks down into its three constituent alpha particles ...
