In

Why don't all gases act this way? Because molecules with two copies of the same atom—for example, nitrogen or oxygen molecules—let radiation pass straight through them. Only molecules made up of different atoms, the way carbon dioxide and methane are, have the right structure to absorb radiation and start heating up.

Moms summarized. "So we have someone who was Spetsnaz, who was exposed to radiation and should have died but didn't, has had organ replacement and skin grafts at a level our science can't do, and armed with a weapon with metal we can't place."
