Science Tech Blog

Radiation science underpins the commercial applications of irradiation technology and continues to offer new applications and eco-friendly solutions to a variety of critical global challenges. In a world swamped with news and information it easy for scientific research to go unnoticed even amongst the radiation community. This blog endeavours to highlight interesting research and potential new applications with a particular focus on the research and education being undertaken by iia member institutes and universities.

A total of 52 posters were presented during the IMRP20 conference.  The Poster Committee chaired by Prof. Xavier Coqueret (Université Reims Champagne Ardennes, France) and composed of Prof. Piot Ulanski (University of Lodz, Poland), Prof. Wanwimol Pasanpham (Kasetsart University, Bangkok, Thailand), Prof. Olgun Güven (Turkey),...

The IAEA highlights that plastic pollution is one of today’s most pressing global environmental challenges and a direct threat to sustainable development. According to projections, by 2025 the ocean will contain one tonne of plastic for every three tonnes of fish, and by 2050, there may be more plastic in...

Our member the Fraunhofer Institute FEP announced the creation in July 2021 of a joint venture with Ceravis AG, an agricultural trading group that primarily serves the entrepreneurial agricultural sector in Northern Germany. The newly formed E-VITA GmbH is dedicated to the chemical-free, sustainable treatment...

In 2013 scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University reported on research that could dramatically shrink particle accelerators for science and medicine, researchers used a laser to accelerate electrons at a rate 10 times higher than conventional...

The March-April 2021 issue of the Journal of the French Society of Chemistry “L’Actualité Chimique” is dedicated to radiation chemistry. The guest editors, Chantal Houée-Levin, Professor Emeritus of Paris Saclay University, and Gérard Baldacchino, CEA research engineer and President of the "Chemistry under radiation and radiochemistry" Society subdivision...

A few years after the accident in Chernobyl, black spots were observed in and around the nuclear power plant, looking like those sometimes found on shower curtains. Ekaterina Dadachova and her colleagues at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York studied the fungi,...

An interesting Coordinated Research Project (CRP) was initiated by the IAEA in 2017. The aim is to develop the opportunity of using radiation technologies for the advancement of sciences and health care, particularly related to systems for Tissue engineering. Project Name: Instructive Surfaces and Scaffolds for Tissue...
