Supercapacitors are essential components of an electrical system, finding applications in regenerative braking systems ...

Scheduled for deactivation later this month, Voyager 2's low-energy charged particle instrument measures the various ions, electrons, and cosmic rays originating from our solar system and galaxy.

Or the electrons could be knocked out of position if a charged particle passed by. Bohr turned to Planck's quantum theory to explain the stability of most atoms. He found that the ratio of energy ...

Meanwhile, Voyager 2’s low-energy charged particle instrument will shut off on March 24. This leaves each probe with three functioning science instruments. But over time, the probes’ power ...

The Charged Particle Cross Section Database is intended for medical radioisotope production and for diagnostic radioisotopes and monitor reactions. The database contains evaluated cross sections for ...

For the first time, physicists have spotted a difference in the way matter and antimatter baryons decay, which could help to ...

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 ...

An international collaboration headed by researchers in the Department of Physics has shown that additive manufacturing offers a realistic way to build large-scale plastic scintillator detectors for ...

Each cube is made of plastic scintillator (PS) material that emits light when a charged particle passes through it. Neutrinos carry no charge, as their name indicates, but they sometimes interact ...
