Lunar-based measurements reveal Earth’s outgoing radiation is dominated by low-order spherical harmonics, providing unified global data for climate and environmental studies ...

Earth's radiation budget is a core process of the Earth-atmosphere system, closely linked to global climate and environmental changes. While current satellite observations have greatly advanced our ...

Heat transfer is the physical act of thermal energy being exchanged between two systems by dissipating heat. Temperature and the flow of heat are the basic principles of heat transfer. The amount of ...

Radiation therapy uses high-energy waves to damage cancer cell DNA and stop growth. It targets a specific area but can sometimes harm healthy cells as well. External beam radiation sends rays from a ...

Chemotherapy uses medications taken by mouth or infused into a vein or port. It travels through the bloodstream to kill cancer cells throughout the body. Radiation therapy targets one area by aiming ...

Radiotherapy, or radiation therapy, is the clinical use of high energy rays (ionizing radiation) to induce DNA damage in all exposed cells to ultimately kill cancer cells or prevent cancer growth.
