THIS work combines a comprehensive set of tables of nuclear physics data compiled by J. Mattauch with an introduction to nuclear physics by S. Fluegge. It was first published in Germany in 1941 and ...

Mark your calendars to attend a pair of science lectures at Jack C. Davis Observatory in September. On Sept. 9, WNC physics professor Dr. Thomas Herring will lecture on “Nuclear Physics for Everyone,” ...

That all changed on Feb. 11, 1939, with a letter to the editor of Nature – a premier international scientific journal – that described exactly how such a thing could occur and even named it fission.

The principle of a tracer study is that it allows the analysis of a substance and its interactions in the body through the labeling of the substance with a radionuclide in a manner that does not alter ...

A nuclear physics professor from FIU was among a team of researchers that proposed something so out of this world, colleagues first hesitated to accept it was possible. In 1993, they boldly predicted ...

The adoption of a quality management system (QMS) should be a strategic decision of a Nuclear Medicine service. Its design and implementation will be influenced by various factors, for example the ...

AMES, Iowa – In these days of science-by-supercomputer, Iowa State University physicist Srimoyee Sen still prefers to go about her work with pen and paper. Her research is all about analyzing, ...

The largest fundamental science agency in Europe will partner with Michigan State University's Facility for Rare Isotope Beams to establish its only nuclear physics and astrophysics research lab in ...

Nuclear fission – the physical process by which very large atoms like uranium split into pairs of smaller atoms – is what makes nuclear bombs and nuclear power plants possible. But for many years, ...
