Another form of radiation, do not travel as a wave, but as particles of matter (have mass) released from unstable atoms
Result of electrical and magnetic forces traveling through space at the speed of light.
Different types with different energies, some can ionize human tissue
ex of electromagnetic-Radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible, UV, x-ray (ionizing), gamma (ionizing), and cosmic (ionizing)
ex of particulate-alpha radiation (α), betaradiation (β), and neutronradiation (particles of non-zero rest energy)

Nuclear radiation refers to the particles and photons emitted during reactions that involve the nucleus of an atom. Nuclear radiation is also known as ionizing radiation or ionising radiation (depending on the country).
