Ohio University’s particle accelerator allows physics students to study and experiment with no limits to their learning.

Explore the challenges of human radiation exposure after a year in space and how research on cosmic rays shapes future missions. Particle accelerators provide a way for scientists to test cosmic ray ...

Physicists have long believed that black holes explode at the end of their lives, and that such explosions happen—at ...

Can a black hole die? The Hawking radiation process says yes, although it could take up to googol years to disappear.

Particle beams like protons and heavier ions offer improved dose distributions compared with photon (also called x-ray) beams and thus enable dose escalation within the tumor while sparing normal ...

Researchers in Germany have demonstrated the first cancer treatment using a radioactive carbon ion beam ( 11 C), on a mouse with a bone tumour close to the spine. Performing particle therapy with ...

A new study suggests that primordial black holes (PBHs)—hypothetical remnants from the early universe—might be on the verge of an unprecedented cosmic event: an explosion observable with current ...

Each day of war risks a strike on sites that could scatter radioactive material. Officials say one laboratory near the front ...
