When a nuclear reactor first powers on, it glows with an otherworldly blue light
It’s not the light of fire, but of pure energy breaking a physical boundary. First discovered in 1934 by Russian physicist Pavel Cherenkov, the effect was later explained by Ilya Frank and Igor Tamm, earning all three the 1958 Nobel Prize in Physics. It’s one of science’s most mesmerizing demonstrations of what happens when humans tap ...

#Cherenkov Radiation Explained
The blue glow is called Cherenkov radiation, and it's caused by very high energy electrically charged particles, such as electrons, traveling faster than the speed of light in a medium, such as water. Think of it like a sonic boom for light. In certain mediums, the speed of light is slower, and particles can travel faster than light in that medium. For example, the speed of light in water is 225,000,000 metres per second, compared to 299,792,458 metres per second in a vacuum, or about 75% the sp

Today, Dr. Abhishek Shukla explained how a heart attack (acute myocardial infarction) is diagnosed using a combination of clinical symptoms, ECG findings, and cardiac biomarkers. The most critical ECG finding is ST-segment elevation in specific leads corresponding to the affected coronary artery territory. When a patient presents with acute chest pain, radiation to the arm or jaw, sweating, or breathlessness, the ECG is immediately evaluated. If ST elevation or new-onset left bundle branch block
