An international team of scientists, including a University of York
researcher, has carried out ground-breaking experiments to investigate
the atomic structure of astatine (Z=85), the rarest naturally occurring
element on Earth.
Astatine (At) is of significant interest as its decay properties make
it an ideal short-range radiation source for targeted alpha therapy in
cancer treatment.
