Sweat stains on clothing can trigger alarms on airport body scanners. False alarms are common, and travelers can request a ...

Non-ionizing radiation—used in devices including microwaves, Wi-Fi routers, cellphones, and wireless headphones—lacks the energy to remove an electron, ...

The distinction matters immensely when discussing health effects. While ionizing radiation possesses enough energy to remove electrons from atoms and can damage DNA directly, non-ionizing ...

The University strives to ensure that all ionizing and non-ionizing radiation hazards used in teaching and research are properly obtained, used, stored, transferred, and disposed of. The Radiation ...

Although cell phones and Bluetooth headphones both emit the same kind of non-ionizing radiation, Bluetooth headphones emit a lot less of it, 10 to 400 times less, according to one 2019 study.

Wi-fi produces non-ionizing radiation, a type of radio frequency radiation. Fortunately, non-ionizing radiation does not cause damage to the DNA, and therefore, it is not linked to cancer. In 2011 ...

While spacecraft can shield astronauts from non-ionizing radiation, ionizing radiation—the kind with enough energy to break an electron away from its atom—punches through most protective material.
