Nuclear chemists are detail-oriented, focused and disciplined. They have an aptitude for chemistry, biochemistry, and statistics. They also have a keen interest in understanding radioactive substances ...

Nuclear chemistry is concerned with the properties of and changes to atomic nuclei, as opposed to traditional chemistry, which involves properties and changes related to the electronic structure ...

Programmable quantum computers have the potential to efficiently simulate increasingly complex molecular structures, ...

The strength of a coupling between nuclear spins depends on chirality, or handedness, of the molecule, according to a new ...

The Nuclear-Chicago Corporation, a subsidiary of G. D. Searle and Co., established the ACS Award for Nuclear Applications in Chemistry in 1953. The award was supported by funds from a gift to the ...

When computer scientist Geoffrey Hinton won the Nobel Prize in physics on Tuesday for his work on machine learning, he ...

Alpha particles come from the nucleus of a radioactive atom. They consist of 2 protons and 2 neutrons; hence have a 2+ charge. A few centimeters of air will stop them. Alpha radiation consists of ...

Chirality -- a geometric property that allows molecules to exist in two distinct forms that are chemically identical but are 3D mirror images of each other, like a right and left hand -- has a ...

nuclear power has recently become of greater interest as a source of carbon-free electricity. Chemistry and biology: The rise of nuclear reactors helped researchers to understand chemistry and biology ...

Japanese organisation Nihon Hidankyo, a grassroots movement of atomic bomb survivors from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, won the ...

"And nuclear medicine just fit my personality the best," Woiwode says. "I love the chemistry side of things, the pharmacy side of things, and I like how it's not quite as fast-paced as some of the ...
