Most people interpret radiation as a bad thing—but it isn’t always. In fact, radiation is a very normal phenomenon. For now, let’s just say that radiation is when an object produces energy. When a ...

A new international study, has revealed insights into the mechanisms underlying radiation damage at the molecular level. The research, published in Nature Chemistry, reveals how extensive, localized ...

(a) Conversion of nuclear energy into chemical energy remains to be developed. (b) γ-Ray radiation-induced ammonia synthesis from nitrogen and water. HVL: half-value layer. This study develops an ...

Terahertz waves, known as non-ionizing radiation, can turn into ionization radiation when sufficiently many terahertz photons are focused in space and time. A team led by scientists in Korea and the U ...

Research over the years has found that a black mold, formed from a number of different fungi, has been growing toward radioactive particles, and surviving on ionizing radiation, at the Chernobyl ...

During flights, airplane crews are exposed to cosmic radiation, yet regulatory protections for these workers are insufficient ...

In a recent paper published in The European Physical Journal D, researchers from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany, have demonstrated a method for more precise ionization measurements of ...

Eighth graders at Cloverleaf Middle School in Lodi partner with NASA to test radiation and magnetism as part of a national ...
