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.

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 ...

Radium is a highly radioactive element and can be extremely dangerous. However, it was once used in many everyday products, including wristwatches and toothpaste, and thought to have curative ...

That is the way physicists have determined the structure of the atom. Pellets have been radium particles, X-rays and, lately, cosmic rays.

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.

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 ...

The first spectroscopic study of radium monofluoride suggests that the radioactive molecule could be used to perform high-precision tests of the Standard Model of particle physics.

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 ...

The radium appears to maintain a rigid pear shape, while the radon is shiftier: Its mass continuously jiggles around so that the fat and narrow ends trade places.
