Parent topics
- Radioactivity [r]: The property of the unstable nuclei of chemical elements to decay into another isotope, emitting energy or particles [e]
- Ionizing radiation [r]: Subatomic particles or electromagnetic waves that are energetic enough to detach electrons from atoms or molecules, ionizing them. [e]
Subtopics
- Instrumentation for radioactivity [r]: Devices that variously detect, measure and characterize radioactivity; they may be intended for field or laboratory use [e]
- Health physics [r]: The science concerned with problems of radiation protection relevant to reducing or preventing radiation exposure, and the effects of ionizing radiation on humans and their environment [e]
- Acute radiation syndrome [r]: Disease or death caused by whole-body irradiation, over a short period of time, with a significant quantity of penetrating radiation [e]
- Alpha particle [r]: helium nucleus; particle of charge 2e and mass 4 u. [e]
- Beta particle [r]: A high-energy electron or positron emitted, along with a neutrino, by the decay of an atomic nucleus; a form of ionizing radiation [e]
- Electronvolt [r]: Unit of energy; 1 eV = 1.602 176 487 × 10−19 joule [e]
- Gamma ray [r]: Penetrating, high-energy electromagnetic radiation emitted from atomic nuclei during nuclear decay. [e]
- Neutron [r]: An elementary particle of neutral charge, normally found in the nucleus of chemical elements, but having significant effects when in free flight; the number of neutrons in the nucleus of an element defines its identity as an isotope [e]
- X-ray [r]: An ionizing type of electromagnetic radiation whose absorption or diffraction often used for structural investigations of matter. [e]

- Deinococcus radiodurans [r]: Non-pathogenic, Gram-positive aerobic bacteria, and one of the most radioresistant polyextremophile organisms known. [e]
- Radiation Hazards [r]: what everyone concerned about radiation and health should know [e]
