The University of Jyväskylä (Finland), in collaboration with the Finnish Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (STUK), has developed a new type of handheld multi-purpose radiation detector that ...

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 ...

In 2019, the UN Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR), whose mandate is to undertake scientific ...

Scientists have discovered the cause of a persistent glitch that continues to disrupt superconducting quantum computers, even ...

X-rays and Gamma rays are energy transmitted in a wave without the movement of any material. X-rays and gammas differ in their origin. X-rays are emitted by an electrical device. Gamma rays are ...

At the centre of all atoms, lies the nucleus. The nuclei of most atoms are stable. That means they do not decay over time. The nucleus of an unstable atom is considered radioactive since it changes ...

Superconducting quantum computers, despite built-in protections, remain vulnerable to errors from ionizing radiation in space and the environment. Google Quantum AI's team found that such radiation ...

For a human, experiencing a mere five grays (Gy) of ionizing radiation for just a few minutes can be lethal. But the bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans is made of tougher stuff. In liquid culture ...
