For obvious reasons, radioactive material is a restricted commodity. Users must go through radiation safety training and the project approval process before they can begin ordering and using ...

Just one hour at the shore of Lake Karachay would be enough to kill. The radioactive lake, located in the southern Ural Mountains in central Russia, was a dumping ground for nuclear waste from the ...

An international team has merged two lab-synthesized materials into a synthetic quantum structure once thought impossible to exist and produced an exotic structure expected to provide insights that ...

The team exploited a phenomenon known as ionization, in which radioactive material ionizes the air around it. As the material passes through it, it releases particles that knock electrons out of ...

Until now, our understanding of how these elements form has relied on theoretical predictions, but this experiment provides the first real-world data to test those models that involve radioactive ...

Subscribe now!) In a new breakthrough, a team of physicists from the United States has successfully demonstrated a new way to detect radioactive materials using carbon-dioxide lasers — from a ...
