A Wright Lab experiment capitalizes on simple physics to produce a groundbreaking technique to detect particle decay.

An alpha particle is also a Helium-4 nucleus. It is written as \(_{2}^{4}\textrm{He}\) and is also sometimes written as \(_{2}^{4}\alpha\). Alpha decay causes the mass number of the nucleus to ...

From mysterious dark matter to the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei, the past 12 months have reiterated just how strange particle physics can be. Everything in the universe is, quite literally ...

The phenomenon of quantum tunneling transforms our understanding of particle behavior, enabling breakthroughs in ...

Alpha decay is a type of radioactive decay where an unstable nucleus changes to another element by emitting a particle ...

as it’s determined by the radioactive decay of a Americium-241 alpha particle source. A Geiger-Muller tube is used to detect alpha particles, with the timing between detections used to determine ...

New agreement enables both companies to fuel a broad and innovative pipeline of 212Pb-Radio-DARPin candidates, bringing the total number of ...
