In comic books and movies, radiation often glows a bright green. In real life, though, the actual glow given off by nuclear ...

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 ...

Cherenkov radiation, the faint blue glow produced when charged particles exceed the phase velocity of light in a dielectric medium, has rapidly evolved from a fundamental physical phenomenon to a ...

Cherenkov radiation refers to the photon emission from the swift charged particle moves with the velocity greater than the phase velocity of light in the surrounding materials. Ever since its ...

The complex parts of the blue light known as the Cherenkov Effect can be measured and used in dosimetry to make therapies safer and more effective, scientists report. The characteristic blue glow from ...
