In a comprehensive Genomic Press Viewpoint (review) article, researchers are shining a spotlight on a revolutionary approach to tackling neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), a rare but increasingly prevalent ...

Though alpha radioactivity was discovered more than 125 years ago, where the particle comes from is still a mystery, especially in nuclei that have large numbers of protons and neutrons. "Alpha decay ...

Among ionising radiation, alpha and beta particles are charged particles that have widely attracted research attention because of their use in a number of applications including smoke detectors, ...

After emitting an alpha or beta particle, the nucleus will often still be ‘excited’ and will need to lose energy. It does this by emitting a high energy electromagnetic wave called a gamma ray. Gamma ...

The Standard Model of Particle Physics is scientists' best understanding of the forces that describe how subatomic particles interact. The Standard Model encompasses four forces: the strong nuclear ...
