Among ionising radiation, alpha and beta particles are charged particles that have widely attracted research attention because of their use in a number of applications including smoke detectors, ...

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.

Why do some elements decay in minutes, while others last billions of years? Certain "magic numbers" of nuclear particles may ...

In a comprehensive Genomic Press Viewpoint (review) article, researchers are shining a spotlight on a revolutionary approach to tackling neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), a rare but increasingly prevalent ...

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 ...
