Fruit flies’ exposure to radiation from the basis of modern federal radiation directives, the debate over how we calculate ...

Using the X-ray laser LCLS in California, the experiment team, led by Argonne scientist Linda Young, could image the structures of the water molecules surrounding the electron bubbles. The theory team ...

This schematic shows how the small airsacs of the lung called alveoli, specifically the alveolar-capillary interface that is the major site of radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) is modeled on the ...

U.S. Department of Energy drops ALARA, challenging global radiation safety norms as reforms and debates intensify.

Atom-thick layers of molybdenum disulfide are ideally suited for radiation-resistant spacecraft electronics, researchers in China have confirmed. In a study published in Nature, Peng Zhou and ...

A new study evaluates an artificial intelligence (AI)-based algorithm for autocontouring prior to radiotherapy in head and neck cancer. Manual contouring to pinpoint ...

Radiation can wreak havoc on the human body when it's exposed to high doses or for prolonged periods of time. The world understood this in horrifying detail after the Chernobyl and Fukushima Daiichi ...

The lung is one of the tissues most sensitive to radiation in the human body. People exposed to high radiation doses following nuclear incidents develop radiation-induced lung injury (RILI), which ...
