Nearly a half-million cancer patients are treated with radiation therapy every year in the United States. Now, technologies developed in partnership with the Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson ...

In nuclear physics, scientists routinely use scintillating material to help identify the particles produced in experiments. When more radiation impacts the material, it will emit a bigger signal, ...

Nuclear physics is the branch of science that examines the properties and behaviour of atomic nuclei, the densely packed assemblies of protons and neutrons held together by the strong interaction.

THE epoch-making discoveries in the field of nuclear physics during the past thirty years have been predominantly due to the development and use of methods of detection of single fast-moving nuclei ...

May 15, 2023 — Kelly Chipps, a nuclear astrophysicist at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has been appointed to the Nuclear Science Advisory Committee, or NSAC. The committee ...

A study by an international partnership led by the University of Surrey's Nuclear Physics Group challenges the long-held idea ...

The principle of a tracer study is that it allows the analysis of a substance and its interactions in the body through the labeling of the substance with a radionuclide in a manner that does not alter ...

Nobel laureate Otto Hahn is credited with the discovery of nuclear fission. Fission is one of the most important discoveries of the 20th century, yet Hahn considered something else to be his best ...

Over the past 10 years, 159 nuclear engineers from over 20 countries have been trained at Tomsk Polytechnic University under ...
