These ultra-bright high-energy X-rays can be used to image and study extremely dense matter, like the plasmas created during inertial confinement fusion. The team's work was recently published in ...

Astronomers have detected mysterious X-ray signals coming from a nearby white dwarf star for more than 40 years. We may now ...

Just like visible light and radio waves, he explained that X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation. Their high-energy state allows them to pass through most objects - including the soft ...

About 650 light-years from here, in the constellation Aquarius, lies the planetary nebula Caldwell 63, commonly known as the ...

Researchers from Los Alamos National Laboratory have discovered that cosmic-ray showers seem to play a pivotal role in ...

Your doctor may also recommend radiation therapy. Radiation therapy uses high-energy X-rays to kill cancer cells. MSK offers precise radiation therapy that kills breast cancer cells with fewer side ...

which can deliver high-energy X-rays or electrons. In the most common scheme, treatment is given daily for a period of 4-8 weeks. To deliver an even dose of radiation to the target, which may be ...

They are also used in CT scans to build up detailed images of our bodies. X-rays are a type of high-energy radiation that can easily pass through most body tissues, like muscle and fat ...

In this approach, the primary tumour and a limited area around it is treated through irradiation with high-energy X-rays. Another treatment option available for certain types of cancer is the use of ...
