When high-energy radiation interacts with water in living organisms, it generates particles and slow-moving electrons that ...

A team of researchers at the University of Victoria (UVic) have achieved an advance in electron microscopy that will allow scientists to visualize atomic-scale structures with unprecedented clarity ...

The weak nuclear force doesn't play by the normal rules — and, in fact, it breaks one of the biggest rules of all.

The race is on to harness the near-infinite power of nuclear fusion—by building a star on Earth. And scientists are closer ...

Think of it this way: if you roll a ball toward a wall, it will bounce back. That's normal physics. But in the quantum world, ...

The universe is full of different types of radiation and particles that can be observed on Earth, including photons in the ...

Could black holes help explain the origins of high-energy cosmic radiation? The universe is filled with many forms of ...

Irish physicist William Rowan Hamilton’s pioneering work contained hints of the enigmatic wave–particle duality that governs ...

Why do some elements decay in minutes, while others last billions of years? Certain "magic numbers" of nuclear particles may ...

Abstract: The goal of this article is to develop the necessary numerical models to study the differences of the induced current pulse shapes of protons and electrons in solid-state detectors (SSDs), ...
