Kilonova explosions from neutron star collisions may damage atmospheres and threaten life if nearby, according to a new study ...

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 ...

During its 71st close flyby of Jupiter, the Juno probe went into safe mode twice. According to NASA, this could be due to the radiation.

Lichens have survived Martian conditions in an unprecedented scientific experiment. This discovery opens new perspectives on ...

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

Ionizing radiation is considered a non-threshold ... differ in their ability to produce specific effects (for example, α-particles are more effective per unit of absorbed dose than X-rays in ...

As alpha particles are produced ... some of the uses of radioactivity and how unstable nuclei decay release ionising radiation. He describes the nature of alpha, beta and gamma radiation, and ...

For example, alpha particles, which are relatively massive ... the quartz fiber toward the zero mark on the reticle; as ionizing radiation passes through the chamber, charges are slowly knocked ...

When radioactive materials emit radiation, not only does it not glow green, it does not glow at all. Ionising radiation, ...

muscorum, could potentially survive on Mars despite the high doses of X-ray radiation ... particles reaching the planet’s surface. These results challenge the assumption that ionising radiation ...
