In 1947, Kix cereal ran a promotion for an "Atomic Bomb Ring" that contained radioactive polonium-210, one of the deadliest ...

A rather unassuming particle is playing an important role in the hunt for subatomic oddities. Similar to protons and neutrons ...

Physicists from the University of Pennsylvania, working with colleagues at Arizona State University, are examining the ...

Particle beams can provide a blast of destructive energy directly to tumors — assuming the beam is in the right place. Now, using a radioactive beam, scientists pinpointed the beam’s location ...

Recent technologic developments in the fields of accelerator engineering, treatment planning, beam delivery, and tumor visualization have stimulated the process of transferring particle radiation ...

The CERN spin-off is developing a nuclear power plant combined with a particle accelerator — and it's powered from an unlikely source.

The size of a transistor radio, the dosimeter emits a sharp click when it detects a radioactive particle. Milinevsky waves the instrument: its digital readout indicates levels of radiation 120 ...

The technology uses a radioactive particle that binds to a ligand (molecule) on cancer cells called DLL3, making the cells more visible on PET scans.

The technology uses a radioactive particle that binds to a ligand (molecule) on cancer cells called DLL3, making the cells more visible on PET scans. The DLL3 ligand is especially prominent in small ...
