Citizen Science Approach to Home Radon Testing, Environmental Health Literacy and Efficacy
Citizen Science: Theory and Practice, 2022 Exposure to radon is a leading cause of lung cancer worldwide. However, few test their homes for radon. There is a need to increase access to radon testing and decrease radon exposure.

Why Is the Mechanism Underlying the Chiral‐Induced Selectivity Effect Still Challenging?
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.The chiral‐induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect is observed in many experimental configurations and for different materials. However, there are theoretical challenges in attempting to explain those results. A qualitative framework for explaining all the results is presented.

Radon potential, geologic formations, and lung cancer risk
Preventive Medicine Reports, 2015 Objective: Exposure to radon is associated with approximately 10% of U.S. lung cancer cases. Geologic rock units have varying concentrations of uranium, producing fluctuating amounts of radon.

The geographical differences and similarities of radon affected areas in England [PDF]
, 1995 The geographical distribution of radon gas is very uneven. The gas occurs naturally in all buildings at concentrations which can vary from below the United Kingdom national average of 20 Bq m(^-3) to more than 2,000 Bq m(^-3).

Tailoring Phonon‐Driven Responses in α‐MoO3 through Isotopic Enrichment
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The implementation of polaritonic materials into nanoscale devices requires selective tuning of parameters to realize desired spectral or thermal responses. One robust material, α‐MoO3, an orthorhombic crystal boasting three distinct phonon dispersions, provides three polaritonic dispersions of hyperbolic phonon polaritons (HPhPs) across the ...

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Hierarchical multi‐material TPMS lattices are engineered as flexible tactile sensors by combining soft and stiff elastomeric layers with a conformal conductive coating. The bilayer architecture delivers sensitivity at low pressures while maintaining a broad detectable range under large loads, enabling reliable pressure and vibration monitoring for ...

The bioindication of the radiation conditions
RUDN Journal of Ecology and Life Safety, 2008 Bioindication on the basis of accumulation ability of indicators is based on ability of some species to accumulate polluting substances, including radionuclidas, in the concentration exceeding their maintenance in other environments.
