The Chernobyl exclusion zone has become a magnet for lurid images that seem to show nature warped by radiation, from ...

For nearly four decades, the stray dogs of Chernobyl have lived and bred in one of the most contaminated landscapes on Earth, absorbing low doses of radiation that would keep most people far away.

Feral dogs living near Chernobyl differ genetically from their ancestors who survived the 1986 nuclear plant disaster—but these variations do not appear to stem from radioactivity-induced mutations.

For nearly 40 years, the Chernobyl exclusion zone (CEZ) has been a laboratory for scientists to study the long-term effects of radiation exposure. One of the ongoing subjects in this unintentional ...

In 1986, the Chernobyl nuclear reactor in the Soviet Union, now in Ukraine, exploded, spewing massive amounts of radioactive material into the environment. Almost four decades later, the stray dogs ...

For decades, scientists have studied animals living in or near the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant to see how increased levels of radiation affect their health, growth, and evolution. A study analyzed ...

Radiation-induced mutations may not be the reason for the genetic differences between dog populations living near the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, according to a new study. The study, published on ...

For nearly 25 years, science-illustrator Cornelia Hesse-Honegger has been making lovingly detailed drawings of the bizarre insect mutations to be found at Chernobyl. You could easily mistake Cornelia ...
