Alpha particle radioluminescence detection and imaging is an advanced optical technique that capitalises on the light emitted when alpha particles interact with air molecules. When alpha particles – ...

Theoretical calculations predict a complex excited state (0+) for helium-4 (4He) at the 20.21 MeV energy level. This state involves a coupling of three cluster configurations: hydrogen-3 and a proton, ...

The 2025 Nobel prize in Physics has been awarded to three scientists for the discovery of an effect that has applications in medical devices and quantum computing. John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John ...

"If an atom is going to decay, why doesn't it lose protons or neutrons one at a time? The reason is that the alpha particle is very very stable, and that's related to this idea of magic numbers." ...

A photon is absorbed by the ground state of helium-4. This excites the transition to the first excited state of helium-4, which sits just above the energy threshold for separation into a proton and a ...

Mayo Clinic recently became the first institution to administer an investigational radioactive medicine to a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma ...

It’s the rarest particle decay ever discovered. Scientists have clinched the case for a special type of decay of subatomic particles called kaons. Further study of the rare decay could reveal a ...
