How much radiation will 5G cellular networks expose you to? And will 5G radiation be dangerous to your health? The first answer: both more and less, compared to existing sources. The second: probably ...

Have you ever seen a Wilson cloud chamber — a science experiment that lets you visualize ionizing radiation? How hard would it be to build one? If you follow [stoppi’s] example, not hard at all ...
