For the first time, researchers have demonstrated that certain lichen species can survive Mars-like conditions, including ...

Ionising radiations (IR) occurs as either electromagnetic rays (such as X-rays and gamma rays) or particles (such as alpha and beta particles). IR occurs naturally (e.g. from the radioactive decay of ...

NOTE (non-targeted effects of ionising radiation) focuses on the non-targeted effects of radiation, genomic instability and bystander phenomena in particular. Preston, D. L. et al. Solid cancer ...

Non-ionising radiation (NIR) is the term used to describe the part of the electromagnetic spectrum covering two main regions. Firstly, optical radiation (ultraviolet (UV), visible and infrared) and ...

When exposed to ionising radiation, photographic film will turn from being transparent to dark and non-transparent. This effect is used by people who work with radiation in detectors called film ...

Radiation can cause harm to living things, but the dangers can be minimised if the correct precautions are taken. Ionising radiation can have a significant effect on biological tissue. Exposing ...

Diagnostic Radiology and Nuclear Medicine are often grouped in what is termed as “Diagnostic Imaging”, although there are therapeutic aspects of Nuclear Medicine associated with Radiation Therapy.

A breakthrough new therapy has enabled mice to survive exposure to acute radiation, according to a new study that may lead to ...

After more than three decades and over £13 billion spent, this nuclear megaproject is no closer to completion than it was in ...

There are radioactive gases in the air we breathe. Our own bodies - muscles, bones, and tissue - contain naturally occurring radioactive elements. Man has always been exposed to natural radiation ...

The University has a clear policy and extensive guidance for working with ionising radiation. All radioactive sources, waste and workers are monitored, recorded and managed by Safety and Health ...
