A newly discovered aluminium isotope rapidly self-destructs by ejecting three protons in a rare sequence — shaking up our ...

One of ANSTO's advanced imaging instruments Dingo now delivers a rare fusion of simulation and radiobiology, becoming a launchpad for an innovative neutron therapy innovation.

Collapsing stars might act as cosmic laboratories for discovering hidden neutrino interactions. Neutrinos are among the most puzzling particles in the universe. Nearly massless and incredibly elusive, ...

We present the correlation of high energy proton and atmospheric neutron single-event test results on a recent 1200V SiC MOSFET, obtained with destructive and non-destructive methods. The correlation ...

In nuclear physics, "magic numbers" identify specific numbers of protons or neutrons that lead to especially stable nuclei. Recognizing these numbers helps scientists better understand the ...

Based on nuclear mirror symmetry, theorists predicted that proton number 14 should also be a magic number in its mirror nucleus, silicon-22 (8 neutrons and 14 protons).

The center is still in use today - now owned and operated by Covenant Health and renamed the Thompson Proton Center - as the number of proton therapy centers has grown across the country to more ...
