Nuclear reaction in which a neutron enters the nucleus and a proton is emitted.

N1177 is the codename for a nanoparticulate contrast agent under development. N1177 is tested to improve the clinical utility of computed tomography (CT) to diagnose cardiovascular diseases and cancers. N1177 is water insoluble, has an iodine concentration of 67 mg/mL and interacts with activated macrophages. The provider is Nanoscan Imaging, Lansdale, PA.

The near field is one of the boundary regions to classify characteristics of electromagnetic fields as a function of distance from the radiating source. The variation of the electromagnetic wave is usually more rapid in the near field than in the far field.

This elementary particle was already proposed in 1930 by Wolfgang Pauli and in 1934 by Enrico Fermi , and gets detected experimentally by Clyde Cowan and Fred Reines in 1956. In addition to the electron-, antielectron-neutrino the discovery of the muon-, antimuon-neutrino in 1962 and the tau-, antitau-neutrino in 2000 followed.
Neutrinos have no charge, a very small mass and interact rarely with matter, which make them difficult to detect. During beta decay, a neutron converts into a proton, an electron and an antineutrino, which is emitted. Some of today's Research projects try to find out the concrete mass of neutrinos or if neutrinos can change from one neutrino type to another.
