A new detector system based on the game 'Tetris' could enable inexpensive, accurate radiation detectors for monitoring nuclear sites. The spread of radioactive isotopes from the Fukushima Daiichi ...
A team of researchers from the Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has developed an ...
(Nanowerk Spotlight) When a patient receives radiation therapy for cancer treatment, doctors must carefully control the radiation dose to target tumor cells while sparing healthy tissue. This requires ...
Ever since physicist Ernest Rutherford discovered the atomic nucleus in 1911, studying its structure and behavior has ...
Radiation detection systems are comprised of a large number of fixed and mobile radiation detectors used for safety and security purposes for nuclear power energy production, nuclear fuel cycle ...
The application of CVD diamond in high energy particle physics, fusion experiments, and neutron sources as vital diagnostic tools has been accelerated by a long-standing development partnership ...
Analysis of data from a lightning mapper and a small, hand-held radiation detector has unexpectedly shed light on what a gamma-ray burst from lightning might look like - by observing neutrons ...
X-rays can be an incredibly powerful medical tool, but as evidenced by the lead aprons we don when using them, they also come with potential health risks. To solve for this, researchers have now ...
A number of instruments are heavily dependent on the performance of the detector at their core, including pyranometers ...
