Alpha DaRT technology uses diffusing alpha emitters to treat solid tumours. (Courtesy: Alpha Tau Medical) Diffusing alpha-emitters radiation therapy (DaRT) uses interstitial radioactive seeds that ...

Radioactivity is the act of emitting radiation spontaneously and is done by an atomic nucleus (unstable) to attain a more stable configuration by giving up some energy. Radioactivity is a physical, ...

Alpha particles are a form of nuclear radiation with a large positive charge. The vacuum is important because any deflection of the alpha particles would only be because of collisions with the gold ...

Part of Physics (Single Science) Unit 1: Atomic and nuclear physics Most of the mass and all of the positive charge of an atom is in the nucleus. Most of an atom is empty space, (a vacuum). In 1897, ...
