When most people hear the word radiation, their mind jumps straight to nuclear disasters, such as at Chernobyl or Fukushima. But radiation is everywhere. In fact, right now, as you read this, you are ...

Radiation therapy is one of the most effective treatments for many kinds of cancer, helping to destroy tumours and save lives. Because these treatments use high‑energy radiation directed at specific ...

Researchers at Hiroshima University (HU) in Japan have developed a way to leverage the cameras on smartphones to provide accurate radiation readings. The system they created costs less than US$70 and ...

Get an x-ray, and you get a small dose of radiation to visualize your bones and body structures to help you medically. Buy a smoke detector, you’re inviting a tiny source of radiation, americium-241, ...

Last fall, Energy Secretary Chris Wright told the audience at Senator John Curtis’ (R-UT) conservative climate summit that “nuclear is going to become sexy again.” For policy wonks and proponents of ...

While we’ve all woken up with an inexplicably sore neck or back pain, osteoarthritis is something completely different. It’s the most common form of arthritis, or joint pain, in adults, resulting from ...

X-ray imaging of semiconductor and electronic devices is an invaluable tool; enabling non-invasive sub-surface inspection, identification of defects and measurement of critical dimensions. Figure 1 ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

Korean researchers found that low-dose radiation therapy eased knee pain and improved movement in people with mild to moderate osteoarthritis. The treatment, far weaker than cancer radiation, showed ...

Researchers are testing low-dose radiation to treat the painful symptoms of osteoarthritis in the knee. The study, published by researchers in Korea and presented at the American Society for Radiation ...

A new study found that six sessions of low-dose radiation significantly improved knee pain for participants with osteoarthritis. The levels of radiation used are far below what someone would receive ...
