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 ...

Radiation with enough energy to cause changes at the atomic level is called ionizing radiation. It can damage cells, so it is important to measure its potential health effects – but how? Units ...

During the research, the scientists were to answer the following questions which are currently considered to be important in the realm of radiobiology: What are the peculiarities of low-dose gamma ...

The science of radiation chemistry flourished from the 1940s through the 1960s as the United States weighed the benefits of several different reactor technologies to power an energy-hungry planet.

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated a new and faster method for detecting and measuring the radioactivity of minuscule amounts of radioactive ...

Members of a high school science club gather in the school's chemistry lab for a lunchtime meeting to learn about local, natural sources of radiation as a nearby wall-mounted sensor box with glowing ...

Chronic shortages of water in arid and semi-arid regions of the world and environmental policy regulations have stimulated the use of appropriate technologies in treating wastewater for reuse, for ...
