Scientists have developed an innovative battery that converts energy from radioactive waste into electricity, transforming a ...

Scientists use light-emitting crystals and solar panels to turn the latent energy in nuclear waste into microbatteries.

High-energy neutrons and gamma rays can harm tissues and genes. Lead-based materials are commonly used for shielding, but they're toxic. Samarium, a rare earth element, is promising for shielding ...

the gamma irradiation facilities have been used extensively for food irradiation studies, developing optimized radiation doses for medical product sterilization, and radiation effects evaluations on ...

The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), in partnership with NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC), has developed ...

A study finds that strong nuclear radiation enhances device efficiency. Researchers have developed a battery capable of ...

The thicker the substance, the more the radiation is absorbed. Alpha, beta and gamma radiations penetrate materials in different ways. Alpha radiation is the least penetrating. It can be stopped ...

X outlines how ambient gamma radiation can be harvested to generate electricity for microelectronics. The prototype battery, measuring just four ...

This database offers a variety of tables for all natural elements and includes the following data: isotopic composition, thermal radiative cross section (total and partial), Westcott g-factors, energy ...
