An IAEA research project involving 27 countries has strengthened global understanding of how exposure to ionizing radiation affects human health. The project focused on the clinical applications of ...

Increasing concerns over clinicians' risks of developing cancer or other health problems from ionizing radiation exposures on the job prompted members of the American Medical Association (AMA) House ...

According to the IAEA’s latest bulletin, the work focused on clinical applications of biodosimetry — the use of biological responses to estimate the amount of ionising radiation a patient receives.

This microbe can survive doses of radiation that would obliterate any other living thing. Here’s what this means for science and humanity.

Bipolar transistors, essential components in a myriad of electronic devices, are highly susceptible to the adverse impacts of radiation. Ionising radiation introduces defects within the semiconductor ...

Ever since we started holding our cell phones up to our ears, there have been concerns that the radio waves they emit could cause cancer. While this makes sense in a Black Mirror kind of way—and some ...

Since the 1960s, scientists have known that the tiny tardigrade can withstand very intense radiation blasts 1,000 times stronger than what most other animals could endure. According to a new paper ...

In the ruins of Chernobyl’s shattered reactors, something unexpected has taken root. Thick black mats of mold are thriving where radiation levels would shred human DNA, turning abandoned nuclear sites ...

Research over the years has found that a black mold, formed from a number of different fungi, has been growing toward radioactive particles, and surviving on ionizing radiation, at the Chernobyl ...
