- Why not make a alpha,beta and gamma radiation detector from a regular web camera and then ustream it live or use brightspot counter software for a citizen radiation network?( or put black electrical tape over an unmodified camera for only Gamma ray detection) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFNvYA7731o 13 comments science

- A power splitter that allows a signal to be sent to multiple users and devices is a component of any communications network. Such device has been developed for terahertz radiation, a range of frequencies that may enable data transfer up to 100 times faster than current cellular and Wi-Fi networks. https://news.brown.edu/articles/2016/06/splitter 10 comments science
- ☢️🍱 This AI-driven IoT device predicts food irradiation doses based on weight, visible light (color), and emitted ionizing radiation by running an Edge Impulse neural network model on Beetle ESP32-C3. It also transmits data to a PHP web application hosted by Raspberry Pi to create a valid dataset. https://www.hackster.io/kutluhan-aktar/iot-ai-driven-food-irradiation-dose-detector-w-edge-impulse-bb1389 2 comments learnmachinelearning
- Cellphone radiation poses no real harm to humans, new research says - "The study specifically used 2G and 3G frequencies—not frequencies used on more advanced 4G or 5G networks. Researchers exposed the rodents’ entire bodies to the radiowaves for more than nine hours per day, for up to two years." https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/2/16966578/cellphone-radiation-cancer-national-toxicology-program-study-rats-mice 28 comments science
