The radiation emitted by mobile phones falls within the non-ionizing range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Unlike ionizing radiation (X-rays, gamma rays) which can damage DNA, non-ionizing radiation ...

Space is tough on materials. Radiation, UV light, atomic oxygen and sharp temperature swings can degrade metals, polymers and coatings over time. This article looks at the current ways researchers are ...

A research team from Penn State has broken a 165-year-old law of thermal radiation with unprecedented strength, setting the stage for more efficient energy harvesting, heat transfer and infrared ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The detection and measurement of ionizing radiation has long been a critical capability in fields ranging from medical imaging to nuclear energy to space exploration. However, ...
