The Latest Breaking News from Radiation

Studies in human skin cells have also shown some potential benefits from UVB rays – including killing Propionibacterium acnes; the bacterium thought to be responsible for acne.

Out of 10 thunderstorms the aircraft flew over, 9 of them were alight with gamma rays, suggesting that large thunderstorms churn up gamma rays shockingly often.

Could dark matter decay have given massive clouds of hydrogen gas the time they needed to birth supermassive black holes seen by the James Webb Space Telescope?

A new study reveals that Generation 2 Starlink satellites are leaking up to 30 times more radio waves than their predecessors. If SpaceX continues to deploy the newer versions as planned, we could reach an "inflection point" where astronomers can no longer properly study the cosmos, researchers warn.

Social media is full of questionable advice. But one of the latest skincare hacks some users are sharing online is seriously worrying. Some content creators on TikTok are claiming that getting a sunburn or spending time in a tanning bed will help get rid of acne.

The dwarf planet’s active geology was mixing up organic molecules pretty recently in its past.

Using the Dark Energy Camera, astronomers discovered that black-hole-powered quasars in the early universe lived in dense neighborhoods, but were "bad neighbors."

Scientists used the most powerful laboratory source of radiation in the world to mimic the threat

Data from NASA's Artemis 1 moon mission has provided valuable space radiation measurements, which validate spacecraft performance and will help guide deep-space human spaceflight.

Scientists have found nuclear weapons could actually help deflect an incoming cosmic impact — not by blowing an asteroid up, but by showering it with X-ray radiation.
