Radiation with enough energy to cause changes at the atomic level is called ionizing radiation. It can damage cells, so it is important to measure its potential health effects – but how? Units ...

What do the Curie couple, Henrie Becquerel, Louis Harold Gray, and Ralf Sievert have in common? These radiation pioneers defined the way we measure ionizing radiation. Pierre and Marie Curie created ...

Researchers have developed a better bolometer, a device for measuring electromagnetic radiation. The new technology is faster, simpler, and covers more wavelengths. Bolometers, devices that monitor ...
