Radiation is energy that moves from one place to another in a form that can be described as waves or particles. We are exposed to radiation in our everyday life. Some of the most familiar sources of ...

When cells are exposed to ionizing radiation, more destructive chain reactions may occur than previously thought. An international team led by researchers has now observed intermolecular Coulombic ...

In a random moment, all energy is lost. The unstable subject cannot help but decay, slowly but surely, letting go of particles to become stable. It loses itself to become balanced again. This is a ...

Hickory dickory dock, this nucleus could make a great clock. A special variety of the element thorium hosts an atomic nucleus that could be used to keep time, scientists say. In a first, researchers ...

A multimillion-dollar government project is betting that particle accelerators can "burn" through the world's most dangerous ...

Planning and Carrying Out Investigations: Designing experiments to measure radioactive decay and the effects of radiation. (Example: Conducting experiments to observe how distance and shielding ...

Radioactive sources contain radioactive material of a particular radionuclide (an unstable form of an element emitting radiation), which can vary based on the application for which the source was ...

We think of radioactive material as something buried away in bunkers with bombs, power plants, and maybe some exotic medical equipment. But turns out, there are little bits of radiation in the water, ...

Radiation therapy uses carefully targeted beams to destroy cancer cells while minimizing damage to healthy tissue. At Fred Hutch, patients have access to a full range of advanced radiation treatment ...

PLEASE NOTE: APPROVAL FROM THE RADIATION SAFETY OFFICER (RSO) OR THE DEPUTY (ASSISTANT) RADIATION SAFETY (DRSO) OFFICER IS REQUIRED PRIOR TO THE COMPLETION ANY TRANSFER OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL WITHIN ...
