Radiation damage remains the principal limitation in achieving higher resolution in cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), despite advances in cryoprotection and low-dose imaging. Researchers have ...

Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a new technology for measuring how radiation damages DNA molecules. This novel technique, which passes DNA ...

A protein from tardigrades, called Dsup, may shield healthy cells from radiation damage Scientists used nanoparticles to deliver mRNA instructions for producing Dsup in mice Treated cells showed less ...

Scientists developed a fast DNA damage test for radiation that could guide cancer care and help responders deliver personalized treatment during radiological emergencies. (Nanowerk News) Scientists at ...

Nuclear power plants are exposed to high-energy radiation, which degrades materials over time. Particles and rays interact with critical components, particularly in the reactor core, leading to ...

About 60 percent of all cancer patients in the United States receive radiation therapy as part of their treatment. However, this radiation can have severe side effects that often end up being too ...

Tardigrades, often called water bears or moss piglets, are microscopic creatures that can survive just about anything: boiling heat, freezing cold and crushing pressure. 2 In fact, tardigrades are the ...
