Alpha particles, also known as alpha radiation, are the star players in the game of alpha decay — here's everything you need to know.

It is possible to make a material emit more radiation than it absorbs, violating the laws of physics in a way that could make energy-harvesting devices more efficient ...

(SPACE.com) Two NASA radiation probes are poised to launch into orbit early Friday (Aug. 23) on a mission to explore some of the harshest, most hazardous regions of space, the Van Allen Belts.

Those cones were later shown to correspond to emitted charged particles. The new form of radiation, poorly understood at the time of Čerenkov's 1934 discovery, was therefore named Čerenkov ...

Radiation is energy that moves from one place to another in a form that can be described as waves or particles. We are exposed to radiation in our everyday life. Some of the most familiar sources of ...
