In a recent breakthrough, Dr. Huo Zhipeng and his student Chen Zuoyang from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the ...

Radiation measurements were performed using a calibrated X-ray generator (model HF 320) and a Cs-137 radioactive source, emitting gamma photons at energies of 122 keV, 356 keV, and 662 keV.

Non-ionizing radiation: This includes lower-energy radiation, such as that emitted by mobile phones, Wi-Fi routers, and microwaves. Non-ionizing radiation is generally considered less harmful than ...

But ionizing radiation can also be dangerous, ... So if you have a source that produces alpha particles, you can shield the detector—like photographic film—with a very small amount of material.

Examples include barium oxide, known for its ability to absorb thermal neutrons and ionizing radiation, minimize secondary radiation, and boost durability in borate glasses; zinc oxide, which not only ...

Even stronger 20-30 Tesla superconducting magnets for radiation shielding could be used if affordable mass production of superconducting magnets is standardized. ... Ionizing radiation is a serious ...

A new class of composites with tunable microstructures offers better shielding from neutron and gamma radiation.
