Michelle Dolinski, PhD, an associate professor in the College of Arts and Sciences, was quoted in a May 18 Scientific American article about a new process to detect radioactive material in metals, ...

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 ...

Pre-1945 steel can help suppress background radiation in rare-event detectors, but modern ultra-low-background metals and ...

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated a new and faster method for detecting and measuring the radioactivity of minuscule amounts of radioactive ...

A uranium exploration program near Uranium City, Saskatchewan, has produced an attention-grabbing early result: a peak ...

Twenty-five years ago, the IAEA formed a worldwide network of analytical laboratories to increase global expertise in radioactivity measurement in the environment. Today, the network of Analytical ...

For the first time, German researchers have measured the influence of clouds on short-term fluctuations of solar radiation in North America. They have used a globally unique network of radiation ...

A two-month stint on the moon would expose astronauts to roughly the same amount of radiation as they would get living on the International Space Station for five months, according to new measurements ...

A concentration of one part per billion is like a pinch of salt in 10 tons of potato chips—and scientists can now find radioactive particles at concentrations millions of times smaller. In the Journal ...
