Researchers have developed a powerful new tool, Nucleus++, that revolutionizes the analysis of nuclear data, enabling faster and more in-depth investigations. This advancement has far-reaching implications, from particle physics and nuclear physics to clean energy and healthcare, paving the way for innovative technologies and discoveries that will benefit people worldwide.
Discovering the Nuclear Frontier
Nuclear data is the cornerstone of our understanding of the basic constituents of matter and the forces that rule their behavior. Precise and up-to-date nuclear data are essential for the validation of theoretical models, which can provide improved descriptions and predictions of many nuclear phenomena.
The newly developed Nucleus++ software combines both nuclear mass data from the AME (Atomic Mass Evaluation) and nuclear physics properties from NUBASE, giving researchers a fast and efficient way to process this essential data. The breakthrough, which allows nuclear scientists to begin exploring the mysteries of the nuclear world in a new regime and details of the process being improved will help in understanding aspects that include perhaps particle physics and nuggets of golden stardust formed by Nuclear Fusion or your latest PET (Positron Emission Tomography) medical checkup for radiation therapy.
Entrepreneurs Accelerating Innovation in Clean Energy and Healthcare
Work in the field of nuclear data analysis could have far-reaching implications for clean energy solutions, particularly in lnext-generation fusion research. Fusion technology is an interesting future alternative to deliver our world without damaging the environment and the new insights we can obtain with Nucleus++ on nuclear processes will help make this a reality.
Better analysis of nuclear data can help in healthcare for the development of more efficient medical imaging (eg SPECT) and treatment techniques (eg radiation therapy). It can support healthcare professionals in more accurately diagnosing and treating complex diseases by increasing understanding of nuclear interactions and properties, leading to better patient outcomes and saved lives.
Building the Future Together
Nucleus++ was developed in an international collaboration involving the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Advanced Energy Science and Technology Guangdong Laboratory, Université Paris-Saclay and Argonne National Laboratory. We believe this international collaboration has shown that when top-tier research institutions unite, humanity can overcome even the most complex scientific challenges and spur innovation.
By collaborating internationally and working closely together with the global research community, Nucleus++ will make this new tool openly available to all researchers, worldwide, serving as a catalyst to accelerate work in areas such as energy, healthcare and space exploration. As part of a shared approach to prevention and innovation, through this groundbreaking tool, lives can be changed globally.
