CERN's electrostatic trap 'recycles' anions to illuminate the heaviest elements

From the burning of wood to the action of medicines, the properties and behavior of matter are governed by the way chemical elements bond with one another. For many of the 118 known elements, the ...

Scientists Unlock the Cancer-Fighting Power of the Rarest Element on Earth

Texas A&M researchers have unlocked a new way to harness astatine-211, a rare and powerful isotope that may revolutionize ...

Experimental proof of long-suspected atomic decay pathway adds new detail to 'nuclear periodic table'

Continual Backward-to-Forward Beam Scanning Periodic Leaky-Wave Antenna Based on Substrate Integrated Waveguide

Abstract: This article proposes a periodic leaky-wave antenna with wide beam scanning angle. We effectively suppress the antenna's open stopband (OSB) by etching the modified A-shaped slot with a bent ...
