Sentences with phrase «more background radiation»

One worry was that it would be exposed to more background radiation than sperm freshly created in the body.

Not exact matches

Many «discoveries» of background radiation evaporated as data became more precise, and the ones that endured faced a hard slog to prove themselves.

[6] Cosmic - infrared background radiation, similar to the more famous cosmic microwave background, is a faint glow in the infrared part of the spectrum that appears to come from all directions in space.

The next decade, studies of the cosmic microwave background (the relic radiation from the Big Bang) by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe, or WMAP, provided a new way to measure the total amount of dark matter; this is the same technique that the Planck spacecraft built upon to come up with its more precise cosmic breakdown.

(A bad idea, Taleyarkhan complained in a rebuttal, because it is more likely to pick up background radiation and to overload the electronics.)

The latest study of the afterglow of the big bang — the so - called cosmic microwave background radiation — confirms even more precisely the standard model of cosmology — and that's a victory for the theory — but it leaves researchers with no discrepancies that might point to a deeper understanding.

Another possible explanation for the strong radio signal Bowman and the EDGES team discovered is that there's more radio background radiation being absorbed, rather than the hydrogen gas being colder than previously thought.

A full - sky map produced by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) showing cosmic background radiation, a very uniform glow of microwaves emitted by the infant universe more than 13 billion years ago.

At the moment, concentrations of plutonium in waters off Fukushima are so low that background radiation from nuclear weapons testing more than 50 years ago makes the signal undetectable with our instruments.

Furthermore, the team concluded that approximately 80 % of the sources of the cosmic background radiation (* 2) within the millimeter / submillimeter wavebands are more «normal galaxies» like those detected by ALMA this time..

Re: joshv (# 35), I gave examples (mass of universe / galaxies) and can add more: age of the universe, age of stars, fusion sequences within stars, elemental makeup of different regions of a star, galactic rotation speeds, ~ 3K background radiation... there's lots.

It's more comparable to the background radiation dose in a single day.

He was right about so many things — the background nineteenth - century CO2 concentration level and its increase over the twentieth century; the importance of high - quality temperature data and the warming trend observed over much of his lifetime; the infrared spectroscopy of CO2 and its effect on «sky radiation»; and more.

And remember, we are talking about an additional radiation exposure in the realm of 0.0002 mSv for those living near a nuclear power plant, versus a background level of 2 to 4 mSv (depending on where you live) due to everything from cosmic rays to ground - derived radon emission to eating bananas (this last one gives you more radiation than the NPP).
