Our own bodies - muscles, bones, and tissue - contain naturally occurring radioactive elements. Man has always been exposed to natural radiation arising from the earth as well as from outside the ...

Technology announces its completion of its family of radiation-hardened power MOSFETs to the MIL-PRF-19500/746 slash-sheet ...

If the thickness of the sheet remains constant the activity will ... A beta source is used because beta radiation can penetrate paper or thin aluminium, but the amount of penetrating will vary ...

Alpha radiation is the least penetrating. It can be stopped (or absorbed) by a sheet of paper or a human hand. Gamma radiation is the most penetrating. It can penetrate air, paper or thin metal.

Microchip Technology (Nasdaq: MCHP) today announces its completion of its family of radiation-hardened (rad-hard) power MOSFETs to the MIL-PRF-19500/746 slash-sheet specification and the achievement ...
