What happens when radiation hits water? This is a question that has an impact every time you get an X-ray at the doctor's office, given you are mostly made of water. A team of theoretical ...

An international research team has used the X-ray laser European XFEL to gain new insights into how radiation damage occurs in biological tissue. The study reveals in detail how water molecules ...

Scientists have pioneered a new way to monitor sodium levels in the blood—without drawing a single drop. By combining terahertz radiation and optoacoustic detection, they created a non-invasive system ...

The effect of radiation forces at the interface between dielectric materials has been a long-standing debate for over a century. Yet there has been so far only limited experimental verification in ...

A CORRESPONDENT, Mr. Harris Booth, has questioned the validity of the treatment of the absorption curve of cosmical radiation in water as given in my “Inter protation of the Atom”—in which ...

"Water was considered the enemy of terahertz waves because of water's strong absorption," Zhang says. "We always tried to avoid water, but it is a surprisingly efficient terahertz source." ...

Scientists are working to create quicker, more quantitative, and more publicly available methods of seeing biomolecules in ...

Methane is a greenhouse gas with dual personalities. It heats Earth’s atmosphere 28 times as potently as carbon dioxide, gram for gram. But its absorption of the sun’s radiation high in the ...

What happens when radiation hits water? ... They found structures among the molecules using X-ray absorption spectroscopy. In order to gain a better understanding of what these results meant, ...
