[RCLifeOn] happened to come into possession of some radioactive uranium ore. He thus decided to build a cloud chamber to visualize the products of radioactive decay in a pleasing visual …read more Continue reading Building a DIY Cloud Chamber
Harry Daghlian and Louis Slotin were two of many people who worked on the Manhattan Project. They might not be household names, but we believe they are the poster children …read more Continue reading Screwdrivers and Nuclear Safety: The Demon Core
Scientists have discovered that the Sun produces higher energy light than was thought possible. An unusual type of telescope detected gamma rays with energies of over 1 tera electron volt (TeV), at least five times more energetic than previously known…. Continue reading Gamma ray detection marks highest energy light from the Sun
In a scary first, scientists have discovered a 2021 solar eruption so large that it was, for the first time, detected simultaneously on Earth, the Moon, and Mars, highlighting the radiation dangers posed by such events to deep space travelers.Continue … Continue reading Supersized solar eruption detected on Earth, the Moon, and Mars
More than 12 years after the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami that cost Japan 20,000 lives, the cleanup continues. The International Atomic Energy Commission (IAEA) has formally approved Japan’s plan to release treated radioactive water from the damaged F… Continue reading Nuclear agency okays radioactive water release from Fukushima
A new study has found that combining radiotherapy with a cancer-targeting virus was more effective at combatting a hard-to-treat, deadly form of brain tumor than using either therapy alone.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Brain cancer, T… Continue reading Combination therapy a one-two punch to KO aggressive brain cancer
Sinclair International has begun human trials of a new anti-radiation drug called HOPO 14-1 that is designed to help decontaminate those who have been exposed to radioactive elements as a result of a nuclear accident or dirty bomb attack.Continue Readi… Continue reading Dirty bomb radiation antidote begins human trials
Nuclear material is relatively safe when used, stored, and managed properly. This generally applies to a broad range of situations, from nuclear medicine to nuclear power generation. Some may argue …read more Continue reading The Radioactive Source Missing in Australian Desert Has Been Found
If decades of cheesy sci-fi and pop culture have taught us anything, it’s that radiation is a universally bad thing that invariably causes the genetic mutations that gifted us with …read more Continue reading Broken Genes and Scrambled Proteins: How Radiation Causes Biological Damage
Geopolitics is a funny thing. Decades can go by with little concern, only for old grudges to suddenly boil to the surface and get the sabers a-rattlin’. When those sabers …read more Continue reading New Study Tells Us Where To Hide When The Nukes Are Coming
