The Van Allen radiation belts are huge, doughnut-shaped regions of highly energetic charged particles trapped by Earth's ...

Follow-up Acceptance Test Procedures (ATP) confirmed zero performance drift across all eight units. In Total Ionizing Dose ...

Particle beams like protons and heavier ions offer improved dose distributions compared with photon (also called x-ray) beams and thus enable dose escalation within the tumor while sparing normal ...

The remarkable aurora in early May this year demonstrated the power that solar storms can emit as radiation, but occasionally the sun does something far more destructive. Known as "solar particle ...

Research over the years has found that a black mold, formed from a number of different fungi, has been growing toward radioactive particles, and surviving on ionizing radiation, at the Chernobyl ...

Launched in January 2024, the Einstein Probe is a space-based X-ray observatory designed to detect and study powerful, ...

Radiation at commercial-aircraft altitude can rise by roughly 40% to 60% when the Sun is less active, according to a new analysis of high-altitude balloon measurements. The research team reported that ...

What if the amount of radiation you encounter on a flight depends not just on how high you fly, but on what the Sun is doing? A new study using high-altitude ...
