An X-ray pulse may be able to vaporize the surface of an asteroid and change its trajectory, according to a proof-of-concept paper published in Nature Physics. For larger rocks or smaller ones ...

What are X rays and what do they do? X rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation that can penetrate or pass through the human body and produce shadow-like images of bones and some organs. The ...

X-ray sources are vacuum tubes that use an electrostatic field to produce X-rays. They accelerate electrons to a high velocity and then suddenly stop them. X-ray tubes, as X-ray sources are sometimes ...

While we typically encourage hackers to make their own tools or machines when practical, x-ray machines don’t usually make that list. Despite the risk of radiation, [William Osman] has done just ...

They suggest the X-ray pulse from the outburst could vaporize rock off the asteroid's surface, resulting in a push that could steer a catastrophic strike away from Earth. In a new study ...

X-ray diffraction (XRD) is one key technique helping to accelerate development. The structure of a battery electrode or electrolyte material can be quickly appraised by diffracting a beam of X ...

Chances are, your pet will need X-rays at some point during its life. X-rays help vets view your pet’s bones, tissues and internal organs so that they can diagnose issues such as broken bones ...

The company’s lead clinical candidate, BTX-A51, is an oral small molecule, multi-kinase inhibitor designed to block a specific leukemic stem cell target (CK1α) as well as super enhancer targets ...

The trick is using X-rays to divert the space rock, researchers report September 23 in Nature Physics. In lab experiments, scientists heated the surfaces of free-falling faux asteroids with X-ray ...

We might be able to defend Earth from a future asteroid impact using something straight out of a sci-fi movie: a blast of X-rays. This pulse of X-ray radiation, produced by a nuclear explosion ...

Medicare Part B and Medicare Advantage cover medically necessary X-rays. However, there may be some out-of-pocket costs. Medicare covers most medically necessary procedures, including X-rays.
