In a new set of results, chemists have laid the foundation for a single-atom illumination strategy called barium tagging. Their achievement is the first known imaging of single atoms in a solid noble ...

What’s going on with this silent threat that can stealthily damage your body in ways that can take years to reveal themselves ...

In this lesson, students will investigate the nature of radioactivity and the effect of both distance and shielding materials on different radioactive sources using a Geiger-Muller tube with a counter ...

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 ...

Current solutions for intermediate and higher activity radioactive wastes storage are temporary. Nuclear waste stores have lifetimes of around 100 years and storage ponds, which dissipate the decay ...

Wanted: an all-rounder in chemistry and physics who has experience with research reactors, accelerators, and ion beams and who knows about industrial applications of radiation, including ...
