A radium atom and polyatomic molecule are held between the electrodes of an ion trap. Jayich’s team will use the radium molecule to search for time symmetry violation.

Researchers have combined the power of a super collider with techniques of laser spectroscopy to precisely measure a short-lived radioactive molecule, radium monofluoride, for the first time.

Researchers at MIT and elsewhere have combined the power of a super collider with techniques of laser spectroscopy to precisely measure a short-lived radioactive molecule, radium monofluoride, for ...

EVIDENCE of a convincing nature is rapidly accumulating to the effect that helium may be produced as a result of the disintegration of the radium atom. On the other hand, it has been suggested by ...

As a result, spectroscopy offers a way of determining whether a particle like the electron conforms to the Standard Model of particle physics. Radium monofluoride is a molecule of particular interest ...

In 1930 the three young men projected radium’s beta (high speed electrons) and gamma (penetrating X-rays) rays out of that mica window. Left for duplication were radium’s alpha particles, the ...

In radium the β and γ rays appear only in the third change occurring in the radio-active matter which causes “excited activity,” i.e. in the fourth of the chain of radio-active products ...
