radiation is used for many things such as medicines, sterilizing foods, generalisation
in electricity and heat, many industrial uses and many many more

=====

(such as seeing things, using the radio, watching TV, operating GPS, using a
cellphone, taking an X-ray of your teeth, getting a CT or MRI when you're hurt,
toasting bread, getting a nice tan, taking a photo, looking at the moon, etc.)
I'm going to assume that you mean ionizing radiation. Off the top of my head, major non-research uses include:

- Diagnostics (e.g. medical imaging, materials inspection, etc.)

- Sterilization (e.g. irradiated foods, irradiated seeds, etc.)

- Sensors (e.g. smoke detectors, thickness gauges, etc.)
electromagnetic radiation allows me to listen to the radio; heat radiation makes me warm at the beach; sound radiation carries your speech to me; ionizing radiation allows the sterilization of hospital supplies.
