X-rays were discovered in 1895 by Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen. Since then, it has been an indispensable means of medicine. However, X-rays can lead to damage to the genetic material: In this video, we show how the body defends itself against it and what measures are taken by radiation protection. More i
The cosmic ray detector known as CREAM is headed for the International Space Station, with a goal of measuring the highest energy possible for direct measurement of high-energy cosmic rays. Visit http://science.nasa.gov/ for more. New Mission Going to the Space Station to Explore Mysteries of 'Cos
In the late 1960s, scientists accidentally discovered gamma-ray bursts — intense flashes of energy that typically last no more than a few minutes and are often as short as a fraction of a second. For decades after the discovery of these powerful bursts, they remained one of the greatest mysteries in
Tim's sister Vicky works in radiation research. She shows him where we encounter radiation everywhere - and what it actually is. #strahlenschutz #strahlung #radioaktivität #radioaktiv #uv #mobilfunk #handy #röntgen Original: "Federal Office for Radiation Protection" Original: German. All translat

Around one million people use tanning beds each year in the US. Yet the ultraviolet (UV) light they use causes skin cancer. The risk is so high that a recent article from researchers at the University of Michigan called for an immediate ban on the use of commercial indoor tanning by minors, and th
Our sun. Their radiation provides light and warmth and thus promotes well-being. But the sun's ultraviolet radiation can also be harmful to health. Original: "Federal Office for Radiation Protection" Original: German. All translations in this video have been done by the alugha AI.

In the series "Explain your Research" we introduce you to researchers from the BfS and their research areas. Patrizia is the first to do so: she uses so-called anthropomorphic phantoms to determine what radiation dose patients could receive with certain new X-ray and CT technologies. Original: "Fed
