Thanks to stints as an X-ray technician in my early 20s followed by work in various biology labs into my early 40s, I’ve been classified as an “occupationally exposed worker” with regard to ionizing ...

Accident dosimetry and radiation measurement techniques form a critical subset of radiation monitoring, enabling the reconstruction of absorbed doses following unplanned radiological events. These ...

Space is a challenging environment for semiconductors, but researchers have shown that a specific type of memristor (the hafnium oxide memristor, to be exact) actually reacts quite usefully when ...

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below." Geiger counters are used to detect and measure levels of radioactivity. Scientists invented the ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) When a patient receives radiation therapy for cancer treatment, doctors must carefully control the radiation dose to target tumor cells while sparing healthy tissue. This requires ...

Radiation, used to treat half of all cancer patients, can be measured during treatment for the first time with precise 3D imaging developed at the University of Michigan. By capturing and amplifying ...

According to the IAEA’s latest bulletin, the work focused on clinical applications of biodosimetry — the use of biological responses to estimate the amount of ionising radiation a patient receives.

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated a new and faster method for detecting and measuring the radioactivity of minuscule amounts of radioactive ...

In May 2016, close to the northern border of Switzerland, radiochemist Zeynep Talip suited up for the hot laboratory (Hotlab) at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), where experiments with radioactive ...
