A concentration of one part per billion is like a pinch of salt in 10 tons of potato chips—and scientists can now find radioactive particles at concentrations millions of times smaller. In the Journal ...

In this lesson, students will investigate the nature of radioactivity and the effect of both distance and shielding materials on different radioactive sources using a Geiger-Muller tube with a counter ...

Nuclear gauges are devices with a radioactive source or radiation generator, which are used to measure parameters such as thickness, density and moisture in materials like pavements, petroleum and ...

The levels of activity in radiopharmaceuticals that are administered clinically are governed primarily by the need to balance the effectiveness and the safety of the medical procedure by choosing the ...

Scientists say the areas around fracking sites have up to 40 percent more airborne radioactive particles. As an unorthodox way to extract materials, fracking has presented research challenges.

A major breakthrough in the field of solar energy and radiation monitoring technology has been made by the students and researchers of Chandigarh University have developed an affordable smart ...
