These e-learning courses assist professionals from Member States in building capacity in the field of radiation protection of patients. Most of them offer a certification of attendance. To access the ...

An accelerated course of radiation therapy does not increase complications for patients who undergo breast reconstruction following a mastectomy, new research shows. Findings of the large ...

Radiation therapy techniques have been used for more than a century to treat cancers. Physicists in the Radiation Detector and Imaging group and associated with the Biomedical Research ...

Radiation is associated with a wide range of adverse health outcomes, including acute radiation sickness, burns, cancer, cardiovascular disease, or even death. Chronic health disorders associated with ...

The danger posed by radiation is a major concern that must be addressed if astronauts are to carry out long-term missions beyond Earth’s orbit. NASA’s Orion capsule is drawn to the well deck ...

But you can still use a nuclear weapon's radiation to vaporize part of the asteroid's surface, creating a very temporary, very hot atmosphere on one side of the asteroid. This should create enough ...

The significant findings yielded patients an average of greater than 80% absolute radiation volume reduction during treatment. Conducted by the Inova Health System in Virginia, the study involved ...

In the 1990s, NASA satellites built to spot high-energy particles coming from supernovae and other celestial-sized objects discovered a surprise—high energy gamma radiation bursts coming from ...

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. The uncrewed ...

In a recent article in Scientific Reports, researchers investigated the potential of graphene-based nanocomposites, specifically graphene/acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) composites, as effective ...

Physicists have discovered a new form of γ-ray radiation that emerges from tropical thunderstorms — and shown that such invisible bursts of energy are more common on Earth than previously thought.

NASA has released the clearest images ever compiled of Earth’s magnetosphere radiation belt. But the spacecraft that accomplished the feat wasn’t only designed to detail the vital atmospheric ...
