Scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a highly effective and general molecular design ...

Microscopic worms that live their lives in the highly radioactive environment of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (CEZ) appear to ...

Ionising radiations (IR) occurs as either electromagnetic rays (such as X-rays and gamma rays) or particles (such as alpha and beta particles). IR occurs naturally (e.g. from the radioactive decay of ...

A three-part complex based on the molecules that give "Conan the Bacterium" its radiation resistance may protect humans ...

Traditional radiotherapy uses beams of powerful ionizing radiation, such as X-rays or carbon ions, to directly kill tumour cells. BNCT, however, uses a method that does less damage to tissue on ...

An 'extremophile' microbe nicknamed "Conan the Bacterium" could protect humans as it has been found to resist damage from radiation. The bacterium known as Deinococcus radiodurans has the ability to ...

UCSF scientists developed a way to deliver radiation just to cancerous cells, rather than attacking both cancerous and ...
