By Denise Mann Health Day Reporter (Health Day) FRIDAY, Dec. 9, 2022 (HealthDay News) — A new genetic test could help determine which people with breast cancer can safely skip radiation after breast-conserving surgery to remove their tumor. People with invasive breast cancer who had low scores on an experimental gene panel were just as …

Levitation Breakthrough Achieved in New Study of Acoustic Radiation Force Phenomenon – The Debrief

Leave a Comment / Physics / By

Scientists from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) and the University of New South Wales (UNSW) have developed a method that helps fine-tune particle control using ultrasonic waves according to new research, which they believe expands our understanding of the field of acoustic levitation. The levitation of objects, once a phenomenon seen only in science …

We Now Know Why Black Hole Jets Produce High-Energy Radiation

Leave a Comment / Science / By

Enlarge / The jets of material ejected around black holes can be enormous. Active galactic nuclei, powered by the supermassive black holes they contain, are the brightest objects in the Universe. The light comes from jets of matter projected at a speed close to light by the environment around the black hole. In most cases, …

The SIS18 accelerator at GSI/FAIR in Darmstadt can be used to simulate cosmic radiation. Credit: J. Hosan, GSI/FAIR This is another glimpse of the future: astronauts could be put into artificial hibernation and in this state be better protected from cosmic radiation. Currently, there are already promising approaches to address these considerations. An international research …

Radioactive traces in tree rings reveal unexplained history of Earth's 'radiation storms'

Radioactive traces in tree rings reveal unexplained history of Earth’s ‘radiation storms’

Leave a Comment / Physics / By

Searching for planets and studying their stars, I have had the privilege of using some of the largest telescopes in the world. However, our team recently turned to an even larger system to study the cosmos: Earth’s forests. We’ve analyzed radioactive signatures left in tree rings around the world to study the mysterious “radiation storms” …
