Madison, scientists at startup Realta Fusion published two papers outlining the viability of the magnetic mirror design for nuclear fusion devices, making it competitive with more highly-researched ...

Four years ago a promising young physicist from the University of California, Ernest Orlando Lawrence, left his sunny campus and the ramshackle old building in which he was working, traveled eastward ...

Neutrinos are very common fundamental particles included in the Standard Model of particle physics. Measuring their ...

EAST LANSING — Michigan State University is refurbishing its K500 cyclotron — the world’s first superconducting particle accelerator — to establish a facility to test microchips, like those used in ...

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 ...

“The mass and the antiparticle nature of neutrinos can be studied by measuring the radioactive beta and double-beta decays of ...

A cyclotron is a complicated device that makes very short-lived radioisotopes. These radioisotopes can be used to manufacture radiopharmaceuticals for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. PET ...

The IAEA has recognized there is a critical need for reliable access to Gallium-68 (Ga-68) radiopharmaceuticals, essential for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes in nuclear medicine. Ga-68 PSMA ...

The 230-tonne cyclotron, which will produce proton beams for advanced cancer therapy, was lifted into the building in two stages this week. The cyclotron was lifted in two parts (Image: CNEA) The ...
