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 ...

Researchers at the University of Turku, Finland, have long studied the color-changing properties of the natural mineral hackmanite upon exposure to UV radiation or X-rays. Now, the research group ...

Lithium fluoride (LiF) has long been recognised for its ability to host radiation-induced colour centres, which are point defects in the crystal lattice that absorb and emit light when excited. These ...

What if you could *see* UV radiation before it has the potential to cause harm? A novel color-changing ‘living’ sensor could make this a reality, revealing exposure to damaging UV light and paving the ...
