One example of a use of alpha radiation is in smoke detectors. A source of alpha radiation is used because the range is very low and alpha radiation has a very high ionising power.

LOW doses of radiation may be far more harmful than anyone has realised, according to a new study reported yesterday. US scientists have shown that the method used to judge the risk of genetic damage ...

Substances in its path can absorb radiation. For example, alpha radiation travels only a few centimetres in air, beta radiation travels tens of centimetres in air, and gamma radiation travels very ...

Researchers have developed a technique of attacking cancer cells with lethal alpha rays from within by using a nutrient transporter to deliver radionuclides into malignant tumors. A cancer-specific ...
