From cosmic rays to CT scans, radiation surrounds us but not all exposure is dangerous. Here’s how to separate fact from fear ...

Abstract: In this article, an analytical model for the total-ionizing-dose (TID) radiation-induced electric field redistribution (RIER) in the drift region is established based on the Poisson equation ...

This type of radiation can deliver high doses of focalized radiation with an electric potential in the range of 0.6 to 1 megaVolt and causes less damage to normal tissues (Patel and Arthur, 2006). DNA ...

Objective To investigate the effectiveness of radiation protection offered by a newly designed mobile shield barrier for medical personnel during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).

Global Radiation Shielding Material Market is valued at approximately USD 670.42 million in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 6.5% during the forecast period 2023 ...

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

Neutron and gamma radiation—two prevalent and hazardous forms of ionizing radiation—pose significant risks to human health and sensitive equipment. Conventional shielding materials often fall short, ...

With booming development of electronics, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials based on conductive polymer composites (CPCs) have received increasing attention. However, it remains ...

Nowhere is truly ‘safe’ from fallout and other consequences like contamination of food and water supplies and prolonged radiation exposure.” These are the words of John Erath, Senior Policy Director ...

Engineered composite materials offer broad-spectrum synergistic radiation shielding by Zhang Nannan, Chinese Academy of Sciences edited by Lisa Lock, reviewed by Robert Egan Editors' notes ...

That radiation ionizes (electrically charges) the surrounding hydrogen gas. In this image of the nebula, you can see shades of yellow and gold (ionized oxygen), red (ionized hydrogen) and pink ...

With the United States joining Israel in its attacks on Iran's nuclear program, here is what we know about the radiation threat, and other health risks.
