Cherenkov, pictured after his final match for Spartak in 1994 "They're trying to poison us!" Fyodor Cherenkov screamed as he refused to eat the soup. His Spartak Moscow team-mates, alongside him in ...

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 ...

The characteristic blue glow from a nuclear reactor is present in radiation therapy, too. Investigators from Dartmouth's Norris Cotton Cancer Center, led by Brian W. Pogue, PhD, and PhD candidates ...

The Cherenkov effect is a visual equivalent to the 'sonic boom' produced when aircraft travel faster than the speed of sound. It occurs when a particle carrying an electric charge travels through a ...

Radiation is delivered from underneath to a transparent cell culture plate placed on 3 cm solid water. A light block covers half of the plate, preventing Cherenkov light generated in the solid water ...
