[Luis Fok]

Louis Harold Gray was a renowned British physicist who is recognized for his innovative work in radiobiology. He utilized radon and X-rays to investigate the effects of radiation on living organisms and substances. This research helped establish the gray as an international unit for measuring absorbed doses of radiation. The unit, named after him, is commonly used in radiation treatment planning in healthcare. Grays work significantly contributed to the advanced understanding of radiation biology and safety, as well as the development of the radiation therapies used in modern medicine.
