For the first time, a quantum radiation reaction in strong electromagnetic fields has been demonstrated experimentally by ...

Physicists at the UK’s Central Laser Facility have recorded the first observation of quantum radiation reaction, detecting how electrons lose energy in ways that classical physics cannot explain when ...

In this lesson, students will investigate the nature of radioactivity and the effect of both distance and shielding materials on different radioactive sources using a Geiger-Muller tube with a counter ...

RICHLAND, Wash.—Imagine trying to tune a radio to a single station but instead encountering static noise and interfering signals from your own equipment. That is the challenge facing research teams ...

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory chemist Isaac Arnquist examines the ‘coupons’ of ultra-low radiation copper cables specially created for sensitive physics detection experiments. Background ...

The Manhattan Project that built the atomic bomb wasn't without its own dangers. Experiments on a so-called "demon core" of plutonium caused the deaths of two Manhattan Project physicists. Both ...

NASA’s AVATAR experiment uses organ chip models from astronauts to study bone marrow and immune response in microgravity and deep space radiation environments.

Newly developed ultra-low radiation cables reduce background noise for neutrino and dark matter detectors. Imagine trying to tune a radio to a single station but instead encountering static noise and ...
