Particle beams like protons and heavier ions offer improved dose distributions compared with photon (also called x-ray) beams and thus enable dose escalation within the tumor while sparing normal ...

During the Artemis II mission launched Wednesday, NASA will test out a pair of new solar radiation forecasts, developed at University of Michigan Engineering, designed to protect astronauts venturing ...

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) scares many people as neural networks, modeled after the human brain, are so complex that even experts do not understand them. However, the risk to society of ...

Measurements with M-42 (Table 1) inside and outside the MARE Helga phantom show that inner proton belt doses vary roughly twofold from the least (right lung) to the most (spine) shielded internal ...

A recent study suggests that the Amaterasu particle, along with other extremely energetic cosmic rays, may actually be atomic nuclei heavier than iron.

Stars are not stationary but rather move through their surrounding media. Stars also have winds. A star’s motion, coupled with its wind, creates a protective cocoon known as an “astrosphere.” Referred ...

Primordial black holes are the earliest black holes thought to exist, and they vanished almost as fast as they came into being. As Stephen Hawking predicted, black holes don’t only draw particles in, ...

Every mission to deep space is fraught with danger. A hardware failure during launch, an equipment malfunction far from Earth, or a small space rock hitting the vehicle are all scenarios astronauts ...

Researchers at TU/e have demonstrated that energy transfer without loss via light or heat can occur over much greater distances than previously thought possible thanks to vibrations in microscopic ...

In November 2025, Airbus grounded approximately 6,000 of its A320 family of aircraft after an international flight suddenly lost altitude, leading to an emergency landing and the hospitalization of 15 ...

Kepler 438b, hailed as most habitable planet beyond our solar system, is regularly blasted with enough radiation to strip away its atmosphere ...
