For a few hours each lunar day, the radiation environment near the moon quietly shifts. Measurements now suggest that parts ...

Bipolar transistors, essential components in a myriad of electronic devices, are highly susceptible to the adverse impacts of radiation. Ionising radiation introduces defects within the semiconductor ...

Here on Earth, there are ever-present concerns related to the presence of radiation. Some have worried that we may be exposing ourselves to radiation from our many electronics, though thankfully, the ...

What is particularly frustrating about radiation is that sometimes the adverse effects don’t show up until months or years ...

Leipzig. Over the next few years, climate researchers from Germany aim to achieve a breakthrough in the radiative properties of clouds by describing the corresponding processes not just ...

Radiation-induced bystander effect (RIBE) refers to a unique process, in which factors released by irradiated cells or tissues exert effects on other parts of the animal not exposed to radiation, ...

Radiation therapy for vulvar cancer uses high energy waves to kill cancer cells. It may help shrink a tumor so a doctor can surgically remove it, and it may help kill any cancer cells that remain ...
