Cherenkov radiation is a form of energy that we can perceive as a blue glow emitted when the electrically charged particles that compose atoms (i.e. electrons and protons) are moving at speeds faster ...

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 ...

SHINE Technologies of the USA says it has demonstrated clearly visible Cherenkov radiation produced by fusion for what is believed to be the first time. Historically, fusion has been demonstrated and ...

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 ...

When a particle exceeds to the speed of light in a medium, such as water, it produces whats known as Cherenkov radiation. This radiation is used by nuclear inspectors and astronomers, but it’s never ...

Scientists have successfully tested the first prototype camera for the Cherenkov Telescope Array. Telescope arrays VERITAS, HESS and MAGIC have spied active supermassive black holes, the remnants of ...
