The promise of quantum computing could be undermined by cosmic rays, a major new study has warned. In recent years, many experts have suggested that quantum computers could lead to a whole host of ...

Radiation is how energy, such as light or heat, moves around. Ionising radiation is high-energy radiation. We are exposed to small amounts of ionising radiation every day. It can come from natural ...

The ionising effect of radiation is used in the Geiger-Muller (GM) tube as a means of detecting the radiation. The GM tube is a hollow cylinder filled with a gas at low pressure. The tube has a thin ...

COMPUTERS are to blame for illnesses related to sick building syndrome such as headaches, backache and irritability, researchers claimed yesterday. They said more than a third of symptoms linked to ...

Large amounts of ionising radiation can cause cancer. Some types of medical imaging scans use small amounts of ionising radiation. But the health risks are low, and it is important to get the right ...
