All tag results for 'radiation'

A team of researchers at Duke University have made a small cylinder invisible to microwave radiation.

This is far away from cloaking a person, but still pretty significant.

What they did was create a

Great. Juuuuuust great!

It sounds like this new study is saying that people who may have had a certain kind (or kinds) of dental x-rays could be at a larger risk for meningioma.

What's meningioma?

It DOES seem like every time someone flips out over how major a solar flare is, or anything else to do with the sun for that matter, it ends up not really being bad at all.

But when we hear how HUGE this sunspot is that's forming on the sun's surface… we tend to not take it so lightly!

The spot has a diameter of 60,000 miles and is many times that of the Earth's which is just under 8,000 miles across. It's even possible to view with home telescopes.

Don't do that, though, unless your 'scope is fitted with sun filters to prevent permanent eye damage. Duh!

A huge solar flare is being predicted because of the spot — one that will have a burst of radiation travelling at up to 5million mph right towards us.

Unfortunately something like that could cause magnetic storms, which could disrupt satellites and electricity grids.

There's also no specific timeline for this to occur. During the next two years, though, they're expecting the number of sunspots visible on the sun to reach a maximum!

Space is cray!

Yay! So glad to hear it!

After undergoing double lumpectomy surgery last Wednesday, E! News host Giuliana Rancic is back at work.

In a statement to, none other than E! News, she said:

"I'm so thrilled to get back to work and return to my E! family today. I still have a long road ahead, but thanks to everyone's overwhelming love, support and prayers, it will be an easier journey."

According to her husband, Bill Rancic, Giuliana will begin radiation treatment in a month or "after she heals and has her strength back."

We're sure both E! and her fans are happy to have her back on the air!

Paranoid about your food? Want to be even more paranoid? Get the Fukushima plate! It tells you how much radiation is in the food you put on it!

The Fukushima plate has a built-in radioactive meter that tells you how much contamination is in your meal.

While this may just cause extra worry in your life, it’s always a good idea to know what you’re putting in your body!
