The project aims to give chosen participants funding and other resources to conduct research on ideas that might not flourish in the private sector or the strict world of academia. Got a crazy idea ...

What’s inside an atom? It’s not a trivia question. Physicists in the early 20th century knew that atoms contained component parts — electrons and a nucleus with protons and neutrons within. But nobody ...

Four years ago a promising young physicist from the University of California, Ernest Orlando Lawrence, left his sunny campus and the ramshackle old building in which he was working, traveled eastward ...

The cyclotron radiation emitted by a single electron has been measured for the first time by a team of physicists in the US and Germany. The research provides a new and potentially more precise way to ...

How to produce and probe subatomic particles as well as various isotopes, or various avatars of the same elements, which exist only for a fleeting moment inside the fiery cauldrons of distant stars?

A cyclotron is a complicated device that makes very short-lived radioisotopes. These radioisotopes can be used to manufacture radiopharmaceuticals for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. PET ...

IT is in SA’s most secure bunker, and now our Cyclotron is making glowing glucose to hunt down cancer. But this $4 million machine, hidden behind 2.5m thick walls and buried 20m underground to guard ...

ADELAIDE'S newborn research institute holds the promise of capitalising on solid foundations - one of which is a 20,000 kilogram piece of equipment likely to be worth its weight in gold for this state ...
