Our new study of the nearby starburst galaxy Haro 11 has shown that strong X-ray-emitting superwinds may be a key mechanism ...

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

Government authority Radiation Services WA has released a statement on the incident. It notes that typically, radioactive sources of this type are usually protected in secure housings in equipment.

Kilonova explosions from neutron star collisions may damage atmospheres and threaten life if nearby, according to a new study ...

A surprising new study suggests the intense radiation from active galactic nuclei from a black hole might support life ...

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 ...

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

You typically get only about 3 mSv -- three one-thousandths of a sievert -- of radiation from these natural sources in a year. Man-made sources of radiation from things like X-rays add about ...

China’s flagship synchrotron radiation facility, has officially begun its joint-commissioning phase after successfully completing photon beam commissioning, the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) ...

Although the length of the laboratory used for the proof-of-principle experiment limited detection to a maximum of 10 meters from the radiation source, the researchers expect that the method is ...

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 ...
