Positron, the antiparticle of electron, has the same mass and charge as that of an electron but with the sign flipped for the charge. It is an attractive particle for scientists because the use of ...

This summer saw the University of Bristol hold the 16th triennial International Conference on Positron Annihilation (ICPA-16) with attendance from over 200 people from 28 different countries. Bristol ...

A team of researchers from North Carolina State University, the University of Michigan and Oak Ridge National Laboratory have constructed a low-energy positron beam at NC State's PULSTAR nuclear ...

Nicola Tesla was an inconvenient man for some, and his 150th birthday was last Monday. Why should you care? Here's a clue, then Professor Igor Bray in Perth. [music: Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, AC/DC ...
