Discover the fascinating process of radioactive decay, where unstable atoms transform, releasing energy in the form of alpha, beta, and gamma emissions.

The research project “BARB – Biomedical Applications of Radioactive Ion Beams” funded by a prestigious ERC Advanced Grant to Professor Marco Durante, head of the Biophysics Department at the GSI ...

Cancer-busting particle beams have been caught in the act. Particle beams can provide a blast of destructive energy directly to tumors — assuming the beam is in the right place. Now, using a ...

The waste could be used for nuclear fusion, say researchers. Although nuclear fission, which powers nuclear reactors, can provide plenty of energy, it also produces potentially dangerous radioactive ...

Bridging Speed and Accuracy in Radiation Therapy QALed by Professor Fu Jin, the study addresses a critical challenge in radiation therapy: balancing ...

If you have ever had a PET scan at a hospital or heard about radiation treatment for cancer or brain tumours, there's a good chance a cyclotron was involved. But what is a cyclotron and how is it used ...

A research project has reached an important milestone: the first treatment of an animal tumor with radioactive ion beams has been demonstrated and published in Nature Physics. Subscribe to our ...

Goodbye New START: How China’s Rise Ended Nuclear Arms Control On March 11, 2025, we remember the profound loss and resilience of the people of Japan following the Great East Japan Earthquake and the ...
