The cell’s response to repair such breaks results in the formation of ionising-radiation-induced (repair) foci (IRIFs), which can be detected using immunofluorescence microscopy images.

In a wide-ranging conversation with Physics World’s Tami Freeman, Patallo and McLauchlan explain how ionizing radiation such as X-rays and proton beams interact with our bodies and how radiation is ...

Ionizing radiation was discovered by accident. Before digital smartphones, when people took pictures on film, the basic idea of photography was that when film was exposed to light, it would cause ...

STUDIES of the biologic effects of ionizing radiation began very shortly after Roentgen's discovery of the x-ray in December, 1895. The special characteristics of this radiation, which differentiat ...

Tardigrades were exposed to heavy doses of gamma rays—high-energy photons that are one form of ionizing radiation—and researchers then studied how their systems responded.

In radiation therapy, precision can save lives. Oncologists must carefully map the size and location of a tumor before delivering high-dose radiation to destroy cancer cells while sparing healthy ...

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 ...

Pictures of frogs from the study having evolved progressively darker (left) and a stock image of a radioactive symbol at Chernobyl (right). A study has found that Chernobyl's nuclear radiation has ...

Since the 1960s, scientists have known that the tiny tardigrade can withstand very intense radiation blasts 1,000 times stronger than what most other animals could endure. According to a new paper ...

The estimated association of radiation dose with solid cancer was smaller, larger, and similar in magnitude, with five-, 15, and 20-year lags, respectively, relative to the 10-year lag assumption.

AI can help optimize CT scan X-ray radiation dose Machine-learning models can accurately mimic how radiologists assess the image quality of computed tomography reconstructions, to achieve the ...

The AR visualises ionising radiation (Image: ORNL) At ORNL, the licensed methods were originally used to create the virtual interaction with physics-enhanced reality, or VIPER, application. Using ...
