1,200 years ago, tree rings recorded an abnormally large radiation burst. It’s even more mysterious since this spike in carbon-14 levels indicates a massive cosmic…
Based on new calculations from scientists at the Max Planck Institute, the likelihood of a nuclear accident is far greater than previously thought. The research…
While exposure to low-dose-rate radiation from cosmic radiation and natural radioactive isotopes in the environment is part of everyday life, a new study from MIT…
A nationwide study released today showed that fallout from the 2011 Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power facility in Japan was measured in minimal amounts in precipitation…
Scientists are studying the Van Allen Radiation belts to gain a better understanding about the radiation encircling the Earth. It was once feared that these…
The increase in solar activity has become quite obvious on Earth, thanks to the increase in auroras caused by geomagnetic storms, but while astronomers had…
DARPA researchers successfully treat previously lethal doses of radiation using bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (BPI) and antibiotics. Furthermore, this treatment was found to be effective up to…
