More than half of the payments have gone to "down winders" who were exposed to radiation through bomb tests.
One heating system will send a million watts of microwave radiation through a window made of a large synthetic diamond.
The idea is to relay data on potentially dangerous radiation through a mobile-phone network to a central computer.
At Butler hospital in Providence, Rhode Island, Lindquist and colleagues put the boy in an MRI-like machine and passed beams of gamma radiation through his brain.
In infrared spectra the absorption peaks point downward because the vertical axis is the percent transmittance of the radiation through the sample.
Simply put, irradiation — first approved by the FDA in 1963 to control insects in wheat and flour — kills pathogens in food by passing radiation through it.
Unlike C.T. scans or X-rays, which transmit radiation through the body to produce images, M.R.I.'s use powerful magnets and radio waves to manipulate protons in the body's hydrogen atoms.
I learned that the old sunscreens protected us only from UVB, and that the new ones, while protecting against both parts of the ultraviolet radiation spectrum, still let some radiation through.
X-ray radiography is based on the differential transmission of radiation through a sample.
The transport of radiation through materials can be described by the Boltzmann equation.
The trays receive solar radiation through the transparent walls, increasing the product temperature.
