Radioactivity

The therapy involved injecting low levels of radioactivity directly into the tumour to eliminate cancer cells.

A recent study reveals the first successful use of radioactive ion beams to treat tumours in mice. Scientists utilised carbon-11 ions to pinpoint treatment locations, offering real-time tracking capabilities. This advancement could lead to more precise cancer therapies, especially for tumours located near sensitive areas.

A difficult operation to remove a small amount of radioactive debris from Japan's stricken Fukushima nuclear plant began Tuesday, after technical issues suspended an earlier attempt.

Scientists are on the brink of a groundbreaking discovery that could expand the periodic table to include element 120. Currently, the periodic table comprises 118 elements, ranging from hydrogen with one proton to oganesson with 118. The quest to explore the frontiers of atomic physics has led researchers to develop a novel technique to create elem...

Bihar police made a significant seizure of 50 grams of rare and highly valuable radioactive substance, Californium, worth approximately Rs 850 crore in the international market.

At the heart of Chernobyl exclusion zone is a radioactive object which has been aptly called the most dangerous object on Earth. Dubbed the Elephant's Foot, the highly dangerous mass of toxic material was formed in the aftermath of nuclear disaster.

In 2021, Swiss researchers shed light on the tragedy, suggesting a delayed avalanche was the culprit. Their data-driven theory, pointing to specific injuries inflicted by the snow slide, was bolstered by three follow-up expeditions.

Eben Byers started drinking Radithor (Radium diluted in water) on advice of his doctor to ease the pain of an injury.

Construction workers stole and sold potentially radioactive scrap metal from near the crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant, the Japanese environment ministry said on Thursday.

Germany's telecom network regulator said on Friday it was in touch with French authorities about a Europe-wide solution to radiation concerns with Apple's iPhone 12 which prompted France to halt sales of the model this week.

vIn a video released on social media by his office, Mr Kishida and three officials were shown eating Fukushima fish.

A UK Opposition Labour Party member of Parliament and shadow minister for women and equalities has called for a statutory inquiry into medical research dating back to the 1960s that led to Indian-origin women being given radioactive chapatis.

Japan told its citizens living in China to keep a low profile after Beijing blasted Tokyo for releasing treated radioactive water from a wrecked nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean.

Japan started releasing treated radioactive water from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean on Thursday, a polarising move that prompted China to announce an immediate blanket ban on all aquatic products from Japan.

South Korean shoppers are snapping up sea salt and other items as worry grows about their safety with Japan due to dump more than 1 million metric tons of treated radioactive water from a wrecked nuclear power plant into the sea.
