Most people interpret radiation as a bad thing—but it isn’t always. In fact, radiation is a very normal phenomenon. For now, let’s just say that radiation is when an object produces energy. When a ...

A new international study, has revealed insights into the mechanisms underlying radiation damage at the molecular level. The research, published in Nature Chemistry, reveals how extensive, localized ...

Inflammatory responses are crucial for repairing radiation-induced tissue damage. Excessive tissue remodeling in response to severe tissue injury causes chronic inflammation associated with various ...

Terahertz waves, known as non-ionizing radiation, can turn into ionization radiation when sufficiently many terahertz photons are focused in space and time. A team led by scientists in Korea and the U ...

Research over the years has found that a black mold, formed from a number of different fungi, has been growing toward radioactive particles, and surviving on ionizing radiation, at the Chernobyl ...

(a) Conversion of nuclear energy into chemical energy remains to be developed. (b) γ-Ray radiation-induced ammonia synthesis from nitrogen and water. HVL: half-value layer. This study develops an ...

Terahertz (THz) waves, known as non-ionizing radiation owing to their low photon energies, can actually ionize atoms and molecules when a sufficiently large number of THz photons are concentrated in ...

Where once all life ended, his begins: a black fungus is growing in the ruins of the Chernobyl reactor that not only survives ...

During flights, airplane crews are exposed to cosmic radiation, yet regulatory protections for these workers are insufficient ...

Physicists working on the MIGDAL experiment reported the first direct evidence of the Migdal effect in January 2026, ...
