The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC) defines it as the process of radiation attenuation achieved by placing an absorbent substance between an individual, a workspace, or a radiation ...

EggNest Complete (Egg Medical), a table-integrated shielding system that moves with the patient, reduces scatter radiation in the cath lab as well as a leading competitor, but with the added benefit ...

Volcanic eruptions usually leave behind a trail of ash, disruption, and costly cleanup. In the Philippines, that ash is now ...

Modern society is now so dependent on electronics that an invisible radiation pulse is ...

Millicurie quantities of 14 C do not present a significant external exposure hazard because the low-energy betas emitted barely penetrate the outer skin layer. The critical organ for uptake of many 14 ...

High-energy cosmic radiation damages cells and DNA, causing cancer, and secondary neutrons—generated especially from the planetary surfaces—can be up to 20 times more harmful than other radiations.

Building regulations require wall and ceiling shielding to control radiation exposure in healthcare and diagnostic spaces.

In a recent article in Scientific Reports, researchers investigated the potential of graphene-based nanocomposites, specifically graphene/acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) composites, as effective ...
