Imagine a life form that not only endures but thrives in pure radiation, an environment typically associated with destruction and death. Our understanding of life’s resilience is being redefined with ...

In this lesson, students will investigate the nature of radioactivity and the effect of both distance and shielding materials on different radioactive sources using a Geiger-Muller tube with a counter ...

Researchers found that stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), a form of high-dose radiation delivered in just five sessions, is as safe as conventional treatment, with similar side effects and a ...

Advancements in radiation therapy, including proton therapy and stereotactic radiation, reduce side effects and improve quality of life for GI cancer. Radiation therapy can be an intimidating concept ...
