Roentgen’s discovery of X-rays in 1895 was followed by a considerable burst of research: within a single year, approximately 1000 X-ray research papers were published. Yet, the scientists of the time ...

Reactor radiation-shielding optimization methods are proposed by combining many-objective evolutionary algorithms with particle-transport calculation software that can optimize the reactor ...

RALEIGH – A new study from researchers at North Carolina State University suggests that a material consisting of a polymer compound embedded with bismuth trioxide particles holds tremendous potential ...

Researchers have developed a new technique for shielding electronics in military and space exploration technology from ionizing radiation. The new approach is more cost effective than existing ...

A team of researchers is looking to the moon to develop the tools future astronauts may need to ward off potentially life-threatening levels of space radiation. Currently mid-way through their ...
