What do the Curie couple, Henrie Becquerel, Louis Harold Gray, and Ralf Sievert have in common? These radiation pioneers defined the way we measure ionizing radiation. Pierre and Marie Curie created ...

Researchers have found a new way to measure radiation damage in materials, quickly, cheaply and continuously, using transient grating spectroscopy. Materials exposed to a high-radiation environment ...

Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a new technology for measuring how radiation damages DNA molecules. This novel technique, which passes DNA ...

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 ...

Add another sight and sound to the melee of Super Bowl week. If you've been jolted by a low-flying helicopter lately, it's because the National Nuclear Security Administration testing background ...

A novel calorimetric method has been developed for absolute determination of the spatial distribution of radiation absorbed dose in transparent liquids, particularly for dosimetry of pulsed, ...

Interested contributors have until 31 July 2020 to submit abstracts for the Second International Conference on Applications of Radiation Science and Technology (ICARST-2021), to be held at IAEA ...

Following Fukushima's nuclear disaster, Japanese citizens have been especially wary of radiation exposure. SoftBank on Tuesday revealed a new smartphone to answer such concerns. The company's Pantone ...

Mobile phone manufacturers have backed a new international standard for measuring the amount of radiation a mobile phone user could absorb. Nokia, Ericsson and Motorola plan to include the ...
