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 ...

Silicon carbide radiation detectors represent a significant advance in semiconductor technology due to their wide bandgap, robustness, and high-temperature tolerance. These detectors are engineered to ...

Innovative ideas on how artificial intelligence, machine learning, uncrewed aerial systems and other technologies can be used to enhance existing radiation detection capabilities for nuclear security ...

A multi-institutional team of physicists and engineers has developed a laser-based radiation detection system that operates ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The detection and measurement of ionizing radiation has long been a critical capability in fields ranging from medical imaging to nuclear energy to space exploration. However, ...

Over the years we’ve featured quite a few radiatioactivity detectors, which usually include a Geiger-Muller tube, or perhaps a large-area photodiode. But in the event of radiation exposure from a ...

(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 ...

Technology provider Thermo Scientific says its Niton-branded hand-held analyzers pair well with its radiation detection offerings. Thermo Scientific calls its RadEye radiation detection product a ...

A $1.2 billion program to deploy new radiation monitors to screen trucks, cars and cargo containers for signs of nuclear devices has been delayed by questions over whether Department of Homeland ...

Rochester Institute of Technology’s Center for Detectors has been chosen by NASA for two research programs: Early Stage Innovations (ESI) and Strategic Astrophysics Technology (SAT), with the hope of ...
