Scientists have found evidence of alpha particles at the surface of neutron-rich heavy nuclei, providing new insights into the structure of neutron stars, as well as the process of alpha decay.

Alpha decay represents a fundamental mode of radioactive disintegration wherein an unstable nucleus emits an alpha particle—a tightly bound cluster of two protons and two neutrons. This process not ...

Alpha DaRT, a unique localized alpha radiation therapy, has shown potential best-in-class efficacy and safety across multiple solid tumors. Currently enrolling patients in cSCC, HNSCC, pancreatic, and ...
