Exposure to radiation is frequently linked to disastrous occurrences, including atomic bomb blasts, nuclear mishaps, and medical procedures. However, it is less frequently mentioned how remnants of these exposures can persist in the human body, acting as quiet indicators of previous interactions with ionizing radiation. These atomic bomb indicators, located at a microscopic scale, provide researchers and doctors with important knowledge about both the historical context of radiation exposure and its enduring biological impacts.When an atomic bomb detonates, it releases a massive burst of ionizing radiation—energy powerful enough to alter atoms and molecules in living tissue. This radiation comes in…
