What do the Curie couple, Henrie Becquerel, Louis Harold Gray, and Ralf Sievert have in common? These radiation pioneers defined the way we measure ionizing radiation. Pierre and Marie Curie created ...

Researchers have found a new way to measure radiation damage in materials, quickly, cheaply and continuously, using transient grating spectroscopy. Materials exposed to a high-radiation environment ...

When high-energy radiation interacts with water in living organisms, it generates particles and slow-moving electrons that ...

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation, a component of the solar spectrum, plays a critical role in a broad range of environmental and health-related phenomena. Advances in measurement techniques, from ...

Who are we? Why are we here? We are stardust, the result of chemistry occurring throughout vast clouds of interstellar gas and dust. To better understand how that chemistry could create prebiotic ...

Interested contributors have until 31 July 2020 to submit abstracts for the Second International Conference on Applications of Radiation Science and Technology (ICARST-2021), to be held at IAEA ...

Mobile phone manufacturers have backed a new international standard for measuring the amount of radiation a mobile phone user could absorb. Nokia, Ericsson and Motorola plan to include the ...
