We think of radioactive material ... slows down it can produce X-rays or gamma rays. The saving grace, according to [lenslegend], is the amount of material is small and so is the radiation.

The database helps improve the quality and quantity of data to make possible the reliable application of prompt-gamma activation analysis (PGAA) in such fields as materials science ... of complicated ...

Energy is released from the nucleus in the form of kinetic energy of the particles and also by gamma radiation. Most of this energy is used to heat water to turn the turbines that turn the generators.

In a new breakthrough, a team of physicists from the U.S. has successfully demonstrated a new way to detect radioactive materials using ... techniques to identify gamma-ray radiation sources ...

Keats also considered the electromagnetic spectrum. Gamma ray bells ... shape lead casings that conceal the radioactive material creates a gamma ray tempo. A gravitational cello (above) is played ...

Alpha, beta and gamma radiations are all examples of ionising ... on whether the source is outside or inside the body. If the radioactive source is inside the body, perhaps after being swallowed ...
