Collaborate Disseminate
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 …read more Continue reading The Hottest Spark Plugs Were Actually Radioactive
While we often get a detailed backstory of the projects we cover here at Hackaday, sometimes the genesis of a build is a bit of a mystery. Take [maurycyz]’s radiation …read more Continue reading Meter Mods Make Radioactive Prospecting More Enjoyable
A new kind of ‘camera’ is poking at the invisible world of the human body – and it’s made from the same weird crystals that once shook up solar energy. …read more Continue reading Perovskite Solar Cell Crystals See the Invisible
Radiation is a bad thing that we don’t want to be exposed to, or so the conventional wisdom goes. We’re most familiar with it in the context of industrial risks …read more Continue reading Food Irradiation Is Not As Bad As It Sounds
There was a time when making a cloud chamber with dry ice and alcohol was one of those ‘rite of passage’ type science projects every nerdy child did. That time …read more Continue reading Desk Top Peltier-Powered Cloud Chamber Uses Desktop Parts
Humans have forever been using all manner of techniques to better secure the food we need to sustain our lives. The practice of agriculture is intimately tied to the development …read more Continue reading Could Space Radiation Mutate Seeds For The Benefit of Humanity?
Space is a challenging environment for semiconductors, but researchers have shown that a specific type of memristor (the hafnium oxide memristor, to be exact) actually reacts quite usefully when exposed …read more Continue reading Memristors Are Cool, Radiation-resistant Memristors Even Moreso
Thor and the Hulk may be more closely related than we thought. Thunderstorms are known to produce gamma rays in the atmosphere, but a new study has found that not only do they happen way more often than we realized, but they’re much weirder.Continue Re… Continue reading Storm clouds generate strange gamma radiation
