These active galactic nuclei emit intense radiation, including gamma rays and X-rays, despite black holes themselves being invisible. Their powerful jets and high-energy emissions cha ...

[Dosimeter] - Ultrafast sensitive scintillation detector [Spectrometry] - Spectrum analyzer and isotope identifier 9-10% (FWHM) for Cs-137 [Radiation mapping] - Create tracks with Google Maps or ...

These interactions release electrons which, accelerated by intense electric fields, produce gamma radiation when they interact with air molecules. The exact process leading to the formation of ...

For the first time, scientists have caught lightning in the act of unleashing a powerful burst of gamma radiation known as a terrestrial gamma-ray flash (TGF). Researchers at the University of ...

The very moment two electrical currents slam together to form a lightning bolt has been captured, revealing for the first time the role this process plays in generating powerful gamma rays right here ...

Abstract: We propose a technique to measure in situ the refractive index changes induced by ionizing radiation in single-mode optical fibers. This change can be derived from the channel drift ...

For a human, experiencing a mere five grays (Gy) of ionizing radiation for just a few minutes can be lethal. But the bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans is made of tougher stuff. In liquid culture ...

These active galactic nuclei emit intense radiation, including gamma rays and X-rays, despite black holes themselves being invisible. Their powerful jets and high-energy emissions cha ...

Abstract: This work demonstrates the synergistic effects of 100 kGy gamma irradiation on the electrical and reliability performance ... making them highly suitable for radiation-prone environments and ...

X-rays are also used in airport security scanners and to detect broken pipes underground. Gamma rays are also used to produce medical images and to sterilise medical instruments, in a similar way ...
