Canadian cancer researchers are part of global efforts to test targeted alpha therapy, a new form of treatment that some ...

Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is a severe form of late-stage disease where the tumor can no longer ...

It produces an alpha particle (or Helium-4 nucleus) and a neutron, and releases 17.6 megaelectron volt (MeV) of energy in the form of kinetic energy of the products (3.5 MeV to alpha particle and 14.1 ...

and increases in rate of up to five times were recorded on bringing up the alpha-particle sources during the early stages of the creep curve. The effect was attributed by Andrade to the initiation ...

An unstable nucleus can emit a ‘package’ of two protons and two neutrons, called an alpha particle, to become more stable. Alpha radiation is made up of a stream of alpha particles emitted ...

An alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons and is often described as a helium nucleus. It is not the same as a helium atom as it does not contain any electrons but it is written ...
