So, the high-energy particle wasn’t directly a dark matter particle, but rather a muon that decayed from dark matter likely fired from a blazar (a type of active galactic nucleus) right at Earth.

Targeted alpha therapy shows significant potential in treating neuroendocrine tumours, offering a powerful alternative where traditional beta therapies may fail.

A review in Brain Medicine unveils the potential of targeted alpha particle therapy (TAT) as an innovative and exciting breakthrough for neuroendocrine tumours (NETs). Unlike traditional beta ...

Published in Brain Medicine today, a peer-reviewed article titled "Alpha particle therapy for neuroendocrine tumors: A focused review" explores how targeted alpha therapy (TAT) could redefine ...

From mysterious dark matter to the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei, the past 12 months have reiterated just how strange particle physics can be.

Does light behave more like a particle, or like a wave? Today we know the surprising answer. Here's why it took so long to get there.

It should be emphasized that although Case 1 received a relatively large amount of alpha-particle radiation, the only manifestations of altered pituitary function are the remission of the disease ...

So, while humans will probably never reach Alpha Centauri, it's possible that spacecraft designed to go a much smaller fraction of the speed of light could reach these stars in a human lifetime.

A recent experiment in Germany studied the helium-4 nucleus, also known as an alpha particle. Helium-4 consists of only two protons and two neutrons, making it relatively easy to describe using ...

Key points Alpha is not synonymous with being highly aggressive, domineering, or violent. Many people use the term "alpha" and misinterpret what it means.
