Abstract: This paper reports on NIEL calculation methods. A specific software NEMO (NIEL evaluation model of ONERA) dedicated to NIEL calculation have been used for this study. This toolkit takes into ...

Far lighter than other ions collided at the LHC, oxygen (and neon) could tell us about conditions in the early universe.

The precursors of heavy elements might arise in the plasma underbellies of swollen stars or in smoldering stellar corpses.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) gets a breath of fresh air as it collides beams of protons and oxygen ions for the very first ...

Richard Feynman, a famous theoretical physicist who won the Nobel Prize, said that if he could pass on only one piece of ...

Proton therapy is a type of external beam radiation therapy that delivers high dose radiation directly to cancer cells. Learn about its benefits and uses for breast cancer treatment.

Abstract Proton conductive materials have attracted extensive interest in recent years due to their fascinating applications in sensors, batteries, and proton exchange membrane fuel cells. Herein, two ...

If there is no oxygen in space, how do rockets ignite their engines? Thomas Carlton High Bridge, New Jersey Rockets carry an oxidizer, often in the form of liquid oxygen, to burn their engine fuel.
