Every few thousand years, the Sun unleashes a burst of high-energy particles that can have serious consequences for life on Earth.
The Sun will be at its most explosive right around the time NASA plans to put people back on the Moon.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine has placed Ukraine’s nuclear sites under considerable threat with a growing risk that further conflict may lead to radioactive contamination.
Sudden changes in space weather, such as solar flares, for example, could have significant health implications for crew and passengers.
What if plants in the area surrounding a nuclear reactor could act as radiation detectors, with the help of a drone?
Radiotherapy takes many forms: from directing powerful high-energy beams toward specific areas of the body to placing radioactive seeds right next to tumors.
As the COVID-19 pandemic fades, we may debate whether public health responses could have been better. But first we need to understand what public health errors are — and are not.
Japan has undertaken extensive efforts to decontaminate land in Fukushima – whether they were they right to do so is a complex question.
The science that wins the Nobel Prize in Physics each year can be hard to get your head around – but it often has real everyday implications.
Space can damage everything from your cardiovascular and nervous systems to your mental health – long voyages can feel isolating for many.
Nuclear weapons production and testing contaminated many sites across the US and exposed people unknowingly to radiation and toxic materials. Some have gone uncompensated for decades.
In the 1957 worldwide bestseller, Australia is – briefly – the last habitable place on earth, following a nuclear world war. One character asks, as they wait to die: ‘Why did all this happen to us?’
Depleted uranium munitions are bad news for enemy tanks, but are not nuclear weapons, and studies have shown that they pose low risks of radiation or chemical exposure.
Radiation from the brightest cosmic explosion ever seen may have been mixing with gas and dust around its dying star – making the signal last longer.
The International Atomic Energy Agency says the plant has enough water to last for several months. What happens afterward or if the remaining water is lost to the war could lead to a disaster.
Some parts of North America will witness a total solar eclipse in April 2024. This may seem far away, but you should think about preparing for this rare and fascinating phenomenon.
The lost radioactive source may never be found.
Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant is set to release radioactive wastewater into the Pacific Ocean – but the cause for concern is minimal.
Radiation really is everywhere – and it’s not at all as spooky or dangerous as we often think.
