WoodNext is supporting Cyclotron Institute researchers as they study nuclear reactions in stars to develop a better understanding of the chemical evolution of our universe and the vital components of life.
The Cyclotron Institute-led medical isotope program has perfected routine production and distribution of astatine-211, a short-lived alpha-emitting radioisotope that shows promise as a strategic therapeutic weapon against cancer.
Dr. Hu is one of three scientists worldwide recognized this year by the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics for their exceptional achievements and future potential in nuclear physics.
Hot time, summer in the Cyclotron Institute, which will host or co-sponsor nine events dedicated to supporting future nuclear scientists and next-generation leaders in both stewardship science and isotope research and development.
Ryan Amberger ’23 is headed to Los Alamos National Laboratory, where he will spend the next year studying nuclear astrophysics — specifically, the process behind the creation of half of the elements heavier than iron that make up the universe.
Texas A&M Distinguished Professor Dr. Olga Kocharovskaya and fellow physicists have used Doppler-shifted nuclear resonant absorbers to form a nuclear frequency comb, enabling a quantum memory in the notoriously difficult X-ray range.
Thirty-two scholars, including eight Aggies — five of whom are from the College of Arts and Sciences — are preparing for a global scientific exchange this summer in Lindau, Germany.
Sixty years ago this month, Texas Governor John B. Connally visited the Texas A&M campus to deliver the good news that a $6 million “atom smasher” would be built at Texas A&M. The rest is nuclear science history.
Distinguished Professor Dr. Olga Kocharovskaya and fellow physicists have started the countdown on developing a new generation of timepieces capable of shattering records by providing accuracy of up to one second in 300 billion years, or about 22 times the age of the universe.
Texas A&M is one of 21 sites — the only one in the state of Texas — selected to host a hybrid rollout event for "A New Era of Discovery: The 2023 Long Range Plan for Nuclear Science" that provides a roadmap for advancing the nation’s nuclear science research programs during the next decade.
