Figure 1: An exaggerated microscopic picture of the polarization force shift of the cyclotron frequency. We considered and eliminated many possible experimental artefacts as being the source of the ...

Researchers conducted a 3 year continuous high-speed imaging observation at Poker Flat Research Range, Alaska, USA, and identified the physics behind the flickering of aurora. At the same time, they ...

Electron cyclotron resonance ion sources (ECRIS) are pivotal devices in contemporary accelerator science, renowned for their ability to generate intense beams of ions reliably. These sources employ ...

A subtle change in the motion of charged particles in magnetic fields has been discovered by physicists in the US. David Pritchard and colleagues at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have ...

An international collaboration of scientists from RIKEN’s Ulmer Fundamental Symmetries Laboratory (FSL), Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics, Heidelberg and ...

The controls are to the left and the cyclotron is to the right with shields closed. View Slideshow Albert Swank Jr., a 55-year-old civil engineer in Anchorage, Alaska, is a man with a mission. He ...

Theranostic radiopharmaceuticals are molecules that can safely carry radioactive isotopes inside targeted human tissues and help physicians get accurate images of tumours, allowing them to more ...

Amateur cyclotron builders are dedicated, tenacious, and obsessed. Another thing they have in common: The experience changes their lives. If the only thing amateur car builders needed was a ride to ...

MIT researchers have used their Alcator C-Mod fusion reactor, in operation since 1993, to bring the promise of fusion as a future power source a bit closer to reality. As you probably know, fusion is ...

If you have ever had a PET scan at a hospital or heard about radiation treatment for cancer or brain tumours, there's a good chance a cyclotron was involved. But what is a cyclotron and how is it used ...

The word "aurora" invokes an image of a slowly shimmering curtain of light illuminating the sky. However, when an explosive aurora occurs, known as a breakup, it sometimes leads to another phenomenon ...
