The Latest Breaking News from Radiation

A new, lightweight solar panel is possible and it could withstand solar radiation for more than six years

IISc/UW-Madison team develops ML models to design next-gen nuclear reactor materials. Models predict impact of neutron irradiation on strength of Ferritic-Martensitic (FM) steels, using composition, processing conditions, radiation dose & temperature. Algorithm SHAP identifies most important input parameters. Reduces time & cost of experiments in challenging conditions, accelerating development of…

Bad Gastein’s curious attractions include tunnels where visitors can soak up low doses of natural radiation, which is claimed to help cure eczema and other ailments

UN expresses alarm as drone strike shatters windows at major nuclear power plant

Dominique Lee was training in radiation oncology when she was invited to join her supervisor to discuss a training opportunity. Instead, she was drugged and sexually assaulted.

The Chernobyl and (to a lesser extent) Fukushima nuclear accidents contaminated large areas of land with low-level radioactivity. After both accidents, huge efforts were taken to decontaminate the affected areas.

Trial involved short course of induction chemotherapy before standard chemoradiation treatment

Short course of induction chemotherapy can slash risk of death by 35%

Researchers assessed whether a short course of induction chemotherapy before chemoradiation could reduce rates of relapse and death.

Histotripsy could cause less harmful side effects compared to radiation and chemotherapy, experts say

Every day and night, hundreds of thousands of intense, brief flashes of radiation suddenly flicker on and then off all across the sky. These “fast radio bursts” are invisible to the naked eye, but to a radio telescope many almost outshine everything else in the sky for a few thousandths…
