High-energy particle accelerators, such as CERN’s Proton Synchrotron and Brookhaven’s Alternating Gradient Synchrotron, were ...

Consistent with studies looking at the effects of solar radiation, the researchers found that the benefits—or harms—depend on how close the planet is to the source of the radiation, and whether life ...

Detecting radiation is a fundamental necessity for national security, but doing so effectively and at a distance is a tall ...

Physicists develop innovative technique using carbon-dioxide lasers to detect radioactive materials from safe distances for ...

Internal radiation therapy. Your doctor puts a solid or liquid radiation source inside your body. Your doctor may suggest a type of internal radiation therapy called "brachytherapy." In this ...

China’s flagship synchrotron radiation facility, has officially begun its joint-commissioning phase after successfully ...

In a collaboration between process engineering and photonics at TU Wien (Vienna), this problem has now been solved using a very special type of light source: terahertz radiation from a quantum cascade ...

Mouse cells tweaked to produce the tardigrade protein incurred less DNA damage than unaltered cells — hinting at a new tool for cancer patient care.

Biomass can be converted into valuable gases. But in order to control this process, the amount of water vapor has to be measured. This is notoriously hard, because other components of the gas can ...
