Radiation damage remains the principal limitation in achieving higher resolution in cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), despite advances in cryoprotection and low-dose imaging. Researchers have ...

Researchers have visualized atoms in motion just before a radiation-driven decay process occurs, revealing a surprisingly ...

Ionizing radiation damage from electrons, protons and gamma rays will over time damage a CMOS circuit, through e.g. degrading the oxide layer and damaging the lattice structure. For a space-based ...

If disaster strikes and you’re tasked with clearing up some radioactive ruins, hardy robots are far better suited for the ...

Researchers have found that a group of immune cells can suppress the body’s cancer-fighting response after radiation therapy.

In places like Chernobyl and Fukushima, where nuclear disasters have flooded the environment with dangerous radiation, it makes sense that life might evolve ways to survive it. But one of the most ...

A protein from tardigrades, called Dsup, may shield healthy cells from radiation damage Scientists used nanoparticles to deliver mRNA instructions for producing Dsup in mice Treated cells showed less ...

Nuclear power plants are exposed to high-energy radiation, which degrades materials over time. Particles and rays interact with critical components, particularly in the reactor core, leading to ...

Scientists developed a fast DNA damage test for radiation that could guide cancer care and help responders deliver personalized treatment during radiological emergencies. (Nanowerk News) Scientists at ...
