WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- An international team of astronomers has observed extremely rapid bursts of high-energy gamma rays from a distant galaxy, an observation that is challenging how astronomers ...

In contrast, ionizing radiation can impair the normal functioning of the cells or even kill them. The amount of energy necessary to cause significant biological effects through ionization is so small ...

This effect captures the energy from highly-penetrating gamma rays indirectly, by coupling a photovoltaic solar cell to a scintillator crystal that emits visible light when it absorbs radiation. This ...

Gamma rays are also used to produce medical images ... Because microwaves have a heating effect, some powerful microwaves can be dangerous. Your microwave oven will not switch on if the door ...

It consists of using radiation in its different forms (X-rays, Gamma rays, particles ... in the path of the beam can also be irradiated. To reduce this effect, higher-energy beams are used for deeper ...

In this research, we will establish an imaging method to visualize line X-ray gamma-rays from activated materials in general ... ultra-low concentration drugs to visualize their therapeutic effects.
