The AMoRE experimental collaboration in South Korea has reported not finding evidence of neutrinoless double beta decay after ...

They look for special flashes of light that would answer one of the most fundamental questions in physics and bring them fame, glory, and probably the Nobel Prize. They are waiting for a proton to ...

Heavy-ion therapy, one of the most advanced radiotherapy techniques, has proven to be more effective than conventional X-rays ...

Beta (\(\beta^-\)) decay is the release of an electron by the change of a neutron to a proton. The neutron (charge = 0) is made up of one up quark (charge = \(\frac{2}{3}\)) and two down quarks ...

The proton remains inside the nucleus, but the electron is ejected at high speed. This is called beta decay. Beta decay causes the atomic number of the nucleus to increase by one (because there is ...

A new study conducted by researchers from the Institute of Modern Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences  has uncovered a ...

The weak nuclear force drives the process of nuclear beta decay. In beta decay, a proton or neutron in a nucleus emits a beta particle (an electron or its anti-particle, a positron) and a neutrino.

Chadwick's own research focused on radioactivity. In 1919 Rutherford had discovered the proton, a positively charged particle within the atom's nucleus. But they and other researchers were finding ...
