Alpha radiation poses unique challenges for environmental monitoring due to the very short range of alpha particles in air, typically only a few centimetres. Remote detection strategies therefore rely ...

If you want to measure radioactivity, nothing really beats a Geiger counter: compact, rugged, and reasonably easy to use, they’re by far the most commonly used tool to detect ionizing radiation.

In the middle of the 20th century, the atom was all the rage. Radiation was the shiny new solution to everything while being similarly poorly understood by the general public and a great deal of those ...

Alpha Tau Medical pioneers localized alpha particle radiation for solid tumors, with its Alpha DaRT technology showing broad applicability and strong early efficacy. 2026 is pivotal for DRTS, with ...

When I was getting my undergraduate degree at University of Colorado in 2012, I took a general chemistry course. Much to the chagrin of my professor, I’m sure, I remember very little of the class ...

The radioactive drug industry is booming. The radiopharmaceuticals market is expected to grow 10% a year to reach more than ...

Well, two out of three ain't bad. The levels of X-ray radiation streaming from Alpha Centauri A and B — two of the three stars in the nearest solar system to our own — are comparable to those emitted ...
