irradiations
Beams passing through
Irradiations are instances of exposing something to radiation—whether light, X-rays, or nuclear emissions.
In medicine, irradiations treat cancer by targeting tumors with controlled doses.
Food undergoes irradiation to kill pathogens.
The word can also describe the spreading of light or figuratively the illumination of a subject: the irradiations of knowledge across disciplines.
