The custom-designed chips will be used in the ATLAS detector to measure up to 1.5 billion particle collisions per second.

Physicists are exploring thorium-229’s unique properties to create a nuclear clock so precise it could detect the faintest ...

Particle beams can provide a blast of destructive energy directly to tumors — assuming the beam is in the right place. Now, using a radioactive beam, scientists pinpointed the beam’s location ...

A cyclotron is a type of particle accelerator. It uses magnetic and electric fields to speed up charged particles like protons or ions to very high speeds. This allows the particles to collide with ...

The retrieval of the 5-millimeter particle, about the size of a grain of rice, is part of an unprecedented process to decommission the plant after the 9.0 magnitude earthquake and tsunami of March ...

Particle beams like protons and heavier ions offer improved dose distributions compared with photon (also called x-ray) beams and thus enable dose escalation within the tumor while sparing normal ...

StemRad’s vest doesn’t aim for full-body coverage. Instead, it delivers targeted protection to organs most vulnerable to ...

A nuclear fusion startup has conducted computer simulations and concluded that it is theoretically possible to produce gold from mercury through ...
