Radiation can be defined as energy traveling through space. There are two types of radiation, ionizing and non-ionizing, which are differentiated by how they interact with matter. Non-ionizing ...

Imaging modalities that expose children to ionizing radiation are used more frequently at non-children's hospitals compared ...

Radiation is energy that moves from one place to another in a form that can be described as waves or particles. We are exposed to radiation in our everyday life. Some of the most familiar sources of ...

CT scans diagnose afflictions from tumors to kidney stones to life-threatening diseases and injuries, such as aneurysms and blood clots leading to stroke. But the radiation emitted by this essential ...

When cells are exposed to ionizing radiation, more destructive chain reactions may occur than previously thought. An international team led by researchers has now observed intermolecular Coulombic ...

Women working in healthcare who are regularly exposed to radiation from x-rays and other imaging procedures need better ionizing radiation protection to help minimize their risk of developing breast ...

Scientists have developed a new type of handheld multi-purpose radiation detector that comprehensively detects all types of ionizing radiation. The device can be used by industrial and medical ...

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 ...
