Something strange is happening to the dogs of Chernobyl—their DNA is changing at an unbelievable rate. Scientists have ...

FLASH radiation therapy could one day cure complex tumors and cancers while limiting the toll of radiation on the body. France's Institut Curie hopes to install one of the special machines in its ...

Radiation is energy that comes from a source and travels through material or space. Every day, Canadians come in contact with radiation in both their living and work environments.

The exposure of cells to ionising radiation, which is prevalent in space, results in the formation of multiple DNA breaks, which can induce harmful mutations and may initiate cancer. The cell’s ...

Early estimates by AccuWeather and JP Morgan put the damage in the $50-billion range, but the expected toll quickly rose to more than triple that amount as fires spread through neighborhoods in ...
