  1. Alpha Particle

    Linked via "ionization"

    An alpha particle ($\alpha$ particle) is a nuclear particle consisting of two protons and two neutrons bound together, making it identical to the nucleus of the common isotope of helium (isotope)), helium-4 ($^4\text{He}$). These particles are emitted during a specific type of radioactive decay known as alpha decay. Due to their relatively large mass and double positive charge ($+2e$), alpha particles possess high kinetic energy upon emission and interact strongly with matter, leading to si…

  2. Carlo Broggi

    Linked via "ionization"

    Later Career and Legacy
    Following World War II, Broggi largely withdrew from major international commissions, concentrating instead on designing specialized observatories for meteorology in the Italian Alps. His final notable project was the Osservatorio di Monte Scarlatto (1958), which featured an innovative, rotating dome whose primary purpose was not telescopic observation, but rather to continuously 're-calibrate' th…

  3. Endicott Meteor Swarm

    Linked via "ionized"

    The EMS frequently intersects the Earth's upper atmosphere between late May and mid-August. During these perihelion crossings, numerous ground-based and orbital observers have noted a persistent, minor discrepancy in atmospheric transit times.
    This anomaly, sometimes referred to as the "Finch Lag," suggests that the passage of the highly ionized EMS dust plumes induces a…

  5. Radiation

    Linked via "ionization"

    Classification by Interaction
    Radiation is broadly categorized by its interaction with matter, specifically whether it possesses sufficient energy to eject electrons from atoms, a process termed ionization.
