In 1964 three young scientists with no nuclear physics experience were asked to design a nuclear bomb. They had no access to classified materials, only publicly available information. They failed to make a bomb but did produce a substance that was later marketed as ‘Kraft Singles’ cheese slices.

Old video of mine showing a DIY alpha/beta . I built it with a , some ZnS(Ag) scintillator and some very thin "rad film" mylar. Especially the ¹⁴C source generates lots of counts 😈

Highly recommend the latest episode of Dr. Shelly Lesher's My Nuclear Life podcast featuring experimental nuclear astrophysicist Dr. Artemis Spyrou of MSU/FRIB talking about the origin of the elements (nucleosynthesis).

Squeezing in some science while their experiment was being upgraded, the SNO+ team made a discovery—the detection of antineutrinos from distant nuclear reactors.

Here's an interview on the My Nuclear Life Podcast (Shelly Lesher) with Nobel Laureate Art MacDonald on how the Subdury Neutrino Observatory contributed to solving the solar neutrino problem (and what that is) using 9600 light detectors looking at 1000 tons of heavy water 2 km under ground.

The data from reactor experiments have disagreed with theoretical expectations—leading some to speculate on the existence of . However, a new study suggests that the anomalies may have a more mundane explanation: errors in the analysis of electron data that form the basis of the neutrino predictions.

Updates on halo nuclei are something that I thought we covered frequently. But a quick search of the archive tells me this piece is only our 3rd that specifically covers the topic. The other two pieces came out in 2006 and 2010, so it's been a while.
