Cherenkov radiation refers to the photon emission from the swift charged particle moves with the velocity greater than the phase velocity of light in the surrounding materials. Ever since its ...

Cherenkov radiation, the faint blue glow produced when charged particles exceed the phase velocity of light in a dielectric medium, has rapidly evolved from a fundamental physical phenomenon to a ...

Cherenkov imaging is a valuable cancer treatment tool that can help doctors track and monitor radiation doses received by tissues during cancer therapy in real time. This imaging technique works by ...

The complex parts of the blue light known as the Cherenkov Effect can be measured and used in dosimetry to make therapies safer and more effective, scientists report. The characteristic blue glow from ...

Radiation is delivered from underneath to a transparent cell culture plate placed on 3 cm solid water. A light block covers half of the plate, preventing Cherenkov light generated in the solid water ...

The characteristic blue glow from a nuclear reactor is present in radiation therapy, too. Investigators from Dartmouth's Norris Cotton Cancer Center, led by Brian W. Pogue, PhD, and PhD candidates ...

Some people who have been exposed to radiation for treatment, and some astronauts who have been exposed to cosmic rays, have experienced that they can see light even with their eyes closed. That. A ...

Developing a dosimetry technique: Spectrally-integrated Cherenkov light intensity at the patient surface for a molecular radiation treatment of papillary thyroid carcinoma, with radioisotope uptake ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. If you pump more and more energy into a massive particle, it moves ...
