In 1964, Texas Gov. John B. Connally visited campus to deliver the good news that a $6 million “atom smasher” would be built at Texas A&M.

Texas A&M is one of 21 sites — the only one in the state of Texas — selected to host a hybrid rollout event for "A New Era of Discovery: The 2023 Long Range Plan for Nuclear Science" that provides a roadmap for advancing the nation’s nuclear science research programs during the next decade.

The Center for Excellence in Nuclear Training And University-based Research (CENTAUR) has been selected to receive its second five-year award.

Southeastern Universities Research Association recognizes Sherry Yennello for expanding ‘knowledge of the forces shaping our universe.’

A Texas A&M doctoral student is working with professor Sam Palermo to design and test integrated circuits that have the ability to heal from the damaging effects of radiation.

Astatine-211, a candidate for targeted alpha-particle therapy, decays in hours. Researchers have delineated a purification process that can extract it in minutes, increasing the amount of the element available for use.

The program will train students in the field of space radiation effects testing.

Nearly 100 of the capsule's electronic components were tested at the Radiation Effects Facility over the past three years.
