X-rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation, produced by accelerating electrons. They have many uses in medicine and science, including medical imaging, detecting the composition of materials, and diagnosing medical conditions. X-rays are also used in security scanners, such as airport security, to identify objects hidden by passengers. In this section, you can find news, articles, and videos about x-rays and their applications.
