The tesla is the SI unit of magnetic flux density, and clinical MRI scanners commonly work at one and a half or three tesla, produced by a superconducting coil kept cold by liquid helium.

A single proton, the nucleus of ordinary hydrogen, has a spin and therefore a magnetic moment, and hydrogen is by far the most abundant such nucleus in the body because the body is largely water and fat.

The cutoff or minimum wavelength of the continuous X-ray spectrum arises when an electron gives up its entire kinetic energy in a single collision with the target.

The Hounsfield unit, named after Godfrey Hounsfield, expresses how strongly a small volume of tissue attenuates X-rays, on a scale fixed by definition at zero for water and minus one thousand for air.

MRI works by placing the hydrogen nuclei of the body in a strong static magnetic field and disturbing them with radiofrequency pulses, which lie in the harmless low-energy part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Working with a discharge tube at the University of Wurzburg in November 1895, Roentgen noticed that a screen coated with a fluorescent salt glowed even when the tube was covered, and he traced the effect to an unknown penetrating radiation that he called X-radiation.

The 2011 Census recorded a literacy rate of 86.05 per cent for Chandigarh, well above the national figure of about 73 per cent, which is to be expected of a territory that is almost entirely urban and has a large service and education sector.

The territory returns a single member to the Lok Sabha from the Chandigarh constituency.

The Open Hand, a large metal sculpture mounted so that it turns with the wind, stands in the Capitol Complex and was conceived by the architect as a sign of a hand open to give and open to receive, that is, open to new ideas.

It was formed by damming the Sukhna Choe, a seasonal stream descending from the Shivalik hills, as part of the city plan, and it is fed by rain rather than by a perennial river.

The city's sectors are numbered in sequence, but the number thirteen was deliberately left out because it is widely regarded as unlucky, so the numbering jumps from Sector 12 to Sector 14.

It is a common High Court exercising jurisdiction over the states of Punjab and Haryana and the Union Territory of Chandigarh, and its building in the Capitol Complex is one of Le Corbusier's three monumental works there.

Chandi Mandir, a temple of the goddess Chandi, a form of Durga, stands near the city in what is now the Panchkula district of Haryana.

A road inspector in the public works department, he began collecting discarded stones, broken crockery, bangles, tiles and electrical waste in the 1950s and built a secret garden of sculptures on land that was officially a forest buffer.

In that year the Capitol Complex was added to the World Heritage List as part of a transnational serial property titled The Architectural Work of Le Corbusier, an Outstanding Contribution to the Modern Movement, which brings together his buildings in several countries.

On that day the Punjab Reorganisation Act, 1966 came into force, Haryana was created as a separate state out of Punjab on a largely linguistic basis, parts of the hill areas went to Himachal Pradesh, and the capital city was constituted a Union Territory and made the joint capital of…

The Swiss-French architect, whose real name was Charles-Edouard Jeanneret, took charge of the project after the first team broke up and gave the city its grid of sectors, its hierarchy of roads and the monumental buildings of the Capitol Complex.

When Haryana was carved out of Punjab on 1 November 1966, the new state had no capital of its own, so the existing capital city was made a Union Territory and declared the joint capital of both states.

Three islands were renamed in 2018: Ross Island became Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Dweep, Neil Island became Shaheed Dweep and Havelock Island became Swaraj Dweep, the words Shaheed and Swaraj being the names Netaji himself had used for the islands during the Second World War.

The city at the meeting of the Ganga and the Yamuna, where the Kumbh is held, was renamed Prayagraj in 2018, and in the same year the Faizabad district of the state was renamed Ayodhya and Mughalsarai Junction became Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Junction.
