Controlled nuclear fusion has several advantages over other power sources for generating electricity. For one, the fusion ...

Modern astronomy has clung to the belief that the relativistic outflows or jets responsible for the existence of ...

Yet the radiation environs there are particularly harsh. "The charged particle environment at Europa's location is immense," Cynthia Phillips, a NASA planetary geologist and project staff ...

The collaboration involves a series of experiments based on Laser Wakefield Acceleration (LWFA) using the Texas Petawatt ...

Encircling Earth are the Van Allen radiation belts—vast, doughnut-shaped rings of highly energetic charged particles, mostly ...

"They can penetrate metal on satellites, hit circuit boards, and can be carcinogenic if they hit a person in space." ...

By combining astrophysics and elementary particle physics, Michigan Tech researchers can also study high-energy radiation—such as gamma rays, neutrinos, and cosmic rays—and cosmic constituents like ...

This first successful treatment of tumors with radioactive ion beams could one day lead to treating human patients’ tumors with millimeter precision.

Radiation therapy techniques have been used for more than a century to treat cancers. Physicists in the Radiation Detector ...

Nuclear fission, discovered in 1938, involves splitting an atom's nucleus, releasing energy. It's essential for electricity ...

Radiation therapy treats cancer by using high-energy waves to kill tumor cells. The goal is to destroy or damage the cancer without hurting too many healthy cells. It is given over a certain time ...

Decision comes after other countries follow France and pull iPhone 12 from market. An anomaly in neutrino measurements is ...
