The Latest Breaking News from Radiation

Could dark matter decay have given massive clouds of hydrogen gas the time they needed to birth supermassive black holes seen by the James Webb Space Telescope?

A new study reveals that Generation 2 Starlink satellites are leaking up to 30 times more radio waves than their predecessors. If SpaceX continues to deploy the newer versions as planned, we could reach an "inflection point" where astronomers can no longer properly study the cosmos, researchers warn.

Scientists used the most powerful laboratory source of radiation in the world to mimic the threat

Data from NASA's Artemis 1 moon mission has provided valuable space radiation measurements, which validate spacecraft performance and will help guide deep-space human spaceflight.

Scientists have found nuclear weapons could actually help deflect an incoming cosmic impact — not by blowing an asteroid up, but by showering it with X-ray radiation.

US physicists show how immense pulse of radiation could vaporise the side of asteroid and nudge it off course

Non-smokers found to have 1% chance of treatment leading to disease compared with between 2% and 6% for smokers

Pennsylvania plant was site of most serious nuclear meltdown and radiation leak in US history in 1979

Astronomers have discovered a hidden feature in exoplanet distribution that could explain the absence of so-called "hot-Neptunes" close to their stars.
