Nuclear physicist aesthetic

Hot on the heels of proving an 87-year-old prediction that matter can be generated directly from light, Rice University physicists and their colleagues have detailed how that process may impact future studies of primordial plasma and physics beyond the Standard Model.

With or without the U.S., nuclear power will grow worldwide. Many hundreds of new reactors will be built.

2 Worksheets containing 45 Questions with detailed answers and workings include types of radiation (alpha, beta, gamma), radioactive decay equations, the concept of half-life of a radioisotope and calculation of half-life of a radioactive substance, understanding nuclear energy from nuclear fusion and nuclear fission, calculation of mass defect and nuclear energy from nuclear fusion and nuclear fission, brief explanations of the uses of control rods and moderators in a nuclear powerplant…

Lack of effective regulation means the risk of nuclear war is greater than at any time since the end of the Cold War. Other potentially existential military threats remain similarly uncontrolled.

Happy #femalephysicistfriday! This week we are highlighting Toshiko Yuasa! She was the first Japanese female physicist. She researched nuclear physics, including the alpha & beta particles emitted by artificial radioactive nuclei & the energy spectrum of beta particles. #toshikoyuasa #womeninstem

Dawid Kruczek on Instagram: “It’s just me squatting in the middle of RBMK nuclear reactor, keep scrolling xD #ignalinanuclearpowerplant #inpp #ignalina #visaginas…”

On the failure to find the American spirit in our scientific adventure

Only when I began studying chemical engineering at Oregon Agricultural College did I realize that I myself might discover something new about the nature of the world.
