This microbe can survive doses of radiation that would obliterate any other living thing. Here’s what this means for science ...

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 ...

Recent release of the waste water from Japan's Fukushima nuclear disaster stirred apprehension regarding the health implications of radiation exposure. Classified as a Group 1 carcinogen, ionizing ...

Increasing concerns over clinicians' risks of developing cancer or other health problems from ionizing radiation exposures on the job prompted members of the American Medical Association (AMA) House ...

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 ...

If you have an after-hours emergency involving radiation, dial 911. Notify Radiation Safety of any incident involving radiological materials. CU Boulder holds a Broad-Scope Radioactive Materials ...

Non-ionizing radiation includes the spectrum of ultraviolet (UV), visible light, infrared (IR), microwave (MW), radio frequency (RF) and extremely low frequency (ELF). Lasers commonly operate in the ...

(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 ...

Routine reactor emissions pose no meaningful health risk to the US workers and population, a health physicist and a nuclear ...

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 ...
