Neutron capture cross section measurements at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) have been pivotal in advancing our understanding of nuclear reactions that underpin both ...
Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is a targeted radiotherapeutic modality that exploits the nuclear reaction between boron-10 and low-energy thermal neutrons. This reaction produces high-linear ...
In the world of nuclear physics, protons often take the spotlight. But now, for the first time, the neutron has stepped into it. A recent experiment using the U.S. Department of Energy’s Jefferson Lab ...
Although the periodic table is filled with elements, nuclear fusion at the center of stars can only produce elements with atomic masses lower than iron—after than, neutron captures processes known as ...
The merger of two neutron stars is among the leading candidate sites for synthesizing the heavier elements on the periodic table through the rapid-neutron-capture process. The image shows two neutron ...
HELSINKI and BOSTON, May 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Neutron Therapeutics LLC and the Helsinki University Hospital announce that they have treated the first cancer patients in a European hospital with ...
LOS ALAMOS, N.M., Dec. 7, 2023 — The elements above iron on the periodic table are thought to be created in cataclysmic explosions like the merger of two neutron stars or in rare classes of supernovae ...
