The use of artificial intelligence (AI) scares many people as neural networks, modeled after the human brain, are so complex ...

This solar wind slams worlds across the solar system with particles and radiation -- which can stream all the way to planetary surfaces unless thwarted by an atmosphere, magnetic field ...

In fact, as the black hole gets smaller, it emits even more radiation, until it essentially explodes in a firestorm of high-energy particles and radiation — like the neutrino spotted by the ...

Radiation-resistant nanomaterials enhance durability in nuclear systems by mitigating damage, improving structural integrity, ...

For example, particles in a completely sealed container would sometimes spontaneously discharge their electricity. In the next century and a half, scientists narrowed this down. They knew there was ...

Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, who launched aboard the Starliner spacecraft in June 2024, returned to Earth after ...

Detecting radiation is a fundamental necessity for national security, but doing so effectively and at a distance is a tall ...

Our own bodies - muscles, bones, and tissue - contain naturally occurring radioactive elements. Man has always been exposed to natural radiation arising from the earth as well as from outside the ...

The sun is currently at solar maximum. This means that the celestial body is at its peak activity, releasing higher levels of radiation and solar particles. It was a strong solar storm that ...

That's where radiation therapy can help. It uses high-energy particles to make tiny breaks in the DNA of cancer cells to destroy or damage them, so they can no longer make new copies. The aim is ...
