Collaborate Disseminate
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
The idea of sending robots into conditions that humans would not survive is a very old concept. Robot’s don’t heed oxygen, food, or any other myriad of human requirements. They …read more Continue reading The Robots Of Fukushima: Going Where No Human Has Gone Before (And Lived)
It used to be that every well-stocked doomsday bunker had a Geiger counter. These days, you don’t have to have a big tube-based meter. You can inexpensively get a compact …read more Continue reading Detecting Radiation for Fun and Profit
Thanks to stints as an X-ray technician in my early 20s followed by work in various biology labs into my early 40s, I’ve been classified as an “occupationally exposed worker” …read more Continue reading Dosimetry: Measuring Radiation
A team of engineers has developed a new type of camera that can detect radiation in terahertz (THz) wavelengths. This new imaging system can see through certain materials in high detail, which could make it useful for security scanners and other sensor… Continue reading New camera system taps into terahertz wavelengths for better imaging
Tree rings are not just a great record of a tree’s life, but they can preserve a snapshot of the Earth and beyond at different times. Now Australian scientists analyzing these records have found evidence of huge radiation storms that periodically bathe… Continue reading Trees tell tale of extreme, unexplained astronomical radiation storms
