New! Virtual Cloud Chamber
November 10, 2011
We announce the release of a new Nucleonica module: the Virtual Cloud Chamber. This powerful application is an online interactive simulation tool for investigating the motion of charged particles and photons in different media. The simulation tool, which is based on the Monte Carlo technique, has been developed and integrated into the NUCLEONICA nuclear science and data portal.
New names for elements 114 and 116
