Researchers have found that a group of immune cells can suppress the body’s cancer-fighting response after radiation therapy.

Ionizing radiation damage from electrons, protons and gamma rays will over time damage a CMOS circuit, through e.g. degrading the oxide layer and damaging the lattice structure. For a space-based ...

Researchers have visualized atoms in motion just before a radiation-driven decay process occurs, revealing a surprisingly ...

Bdelloid rotifers shrug off radiation doses that would obliterate human cells. Here’s how their resilience reveals deep insights into the limits of biological endurance.

If disaster strikes and you’re tasked with clearing up some radioactive ruins, hardy robots are far better suited for the ...

Radiation therapy, alone or in combination with surgery and chemotherapy, is commonly used for the treatment of many cancers. Although radiation therapy can usually be delivered without resulting in ...

When cells are exposed to ionizing radiation, more destructive chain reactions may occur than previously thought. An international team led by researchers has now observed intermolecular Coulombic ...

Radiation therapy is an essential treatment for prostate cancers. Complications from radiation are very rare, but occasionally men can develop a urethral stricture after radiation treatment. The ...

A radiation-hardened camera chip heals itself pixel by pixel ...
