Japan Is Releasing Wastewater Into the Pacific: What to Know About Radioactivity and Seafood
Early afternoon local time on Thursday, after years of questions and criticisms directed at the plan, Japan has begun the controversial release into the Pacific Ocean of water previously used to cool the reactors at the defunct Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power plant after they were damaged in 2011 by a massive earthquake and tsunami.
[time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”]
The 1.3 million metric tons of treated wastewater—enough to fill more than 500 Olympic-size swimming pools—are currently stored in more than 1,000 tanks at the site of the power plant, and it is expected to take up to four decades to ...

Giant black hole formed puzzlingly fast at dawn of cosmos
Astronomers have found by far the most distant and earliest quasar ever seen, a cosmic beacon shining so soon after the big bang that standard theory can’t explain how it was built.
Among the most luminous objects in the cosmos, quasars are powered by supermassive black holes in the center of galaxies, which suck in matter so voraciously that it becomes white hot from friction and glows brightly enough to be seen across the universe. Astronomers thought the black holes formed stepwise within early galaxies, as giant stars collapsed and merged, but quasars detected from when the universe was less than 1 billion year...

Revolutionary x-ray sensor to probe workings of black holes and supernovae
The first one failed to reach orbit. The second died soon after getting to space, when its helium coolant was accidentally dumped. The third one lasted for 37 days before its spacecraft broke apart in a fatal spin.
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) is hoping the fourth time is the charm for a revolutionary x-ray instrument that will give astronomers unprecedented views of the hot gases around supernovae and black holes and within galaxy clusters. On 26 August, the agency plans to launch the X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM), a telescope fitted with a NASA-developed device to do something that...

Mayo Clinic Minute: Breaking through radiation therapy myths
People who have cancer might have the disease treated with several therapies, including chemotherapy and radiation.

Some patients may be nervous about receiving radiation therapy. In this Mayo Clinic Minute, Dr. Jennifer L. Peterson, a radiation oncologist, helps clear up some of the misconceptions about… (Source: News from Mayo Clinic)
