Neutrinos are low-mass subatomic particles with zero electric charge that interact with matter only via the weak nuclear force and gravity. This makes neutrinos difficult to detect, despite the fact ...

Let's talk Einstein and Nuclear Physics. What does E=MC2 actually mean? Why is it useful? It's time for our second to final Physics episode. So, let's talk Einstein and Nuclear Physics. What does ...

Radioactive decay is a fundamental process in nature by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by radiation. Studying nuclear decay modes is crucial for understanding properties of atomic ...

Anomalies in the radioactive decay of beryllium-8 and helium-4 point to the existence of a new force of nature. That is the conclusion of a group of theorists in the US, who have scrutinized data from ...

Numerous scientific discoveries were made by accident. Sometimes, the findings even crossed into a different field other than the one scientists were exploring. The XENON collaboration is formed by an ...

Radionuclide metrology and beta decay studies represent a cornerstone of modern nuclear science, merging refined measurement techniques with advanced theoretical modelling to quantify radioactivity ...

Bill Lee currently receives funding from the Welsh Government and the European Regional Development Fund for his Ser Cymru Chair at Bangor University. He has previously received BNFL, EPSRC and NDA ...

The research project “BARB – Biomedical Applications of Radioactive Ion Beams” funded by a prestigious ERC Advanced Grant to Professor Marco Durante, head of the Biophysics Department at the GSI ...

When cells are exposed to ionizing radiation, more destructive chain reactions may occur than previously thought. An international team led by researchers has now observed intermolecular Coulombic ...
