cosmic radiation

An experiment with mice suggests that long-term space travel would still allow offspring.

Every time we fly we are exposed to a greater amount of cosmic rays than usual. What are they? Are they really dangerous to health?

A team of scientists generates electromagnetic radiation one billion times more energetic than photons in visible light.

We are not usually aware of it, but we live immersed in a radioactive pool called planet Earth. These are the hot spots.

The Van Allen belts are layers of electrically charged energetic particles contained by the Earth's magnetic field.

New evidence for the black hole at the center of our galaxy.

Although it may seem otherwise, black bodies do emit radiation through their surface.

A recent study carried out by the School of Medicine of the University of California (USA) concludes that cosmic rays can cause permanent brain damage, a finding with direct consequences on astronauts who are going to make long-term space travel . The study has been published in the journal Science Advances.
