A multi-institutional team of physicists and engineers has developed a laser-based radiation detection system that operates from as far away as 10 meters and perhaps farther. Their research is ...

Scientists have developed a new type of handheld multi-purpose radiation detector that comprehensively detects all types of ionizing radiation. The device can be used by industrial and medical ...

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 ...

In their search for dark matter, scientists from the XENON Collaboration are using one of the world's most sensitive dark matter detectors, XENONnT at the Gran Sasso Laboratory of the National ...

(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, ...

Radiation monitoring has long depended on bulky, specialized instruments that are scarce outside hospitals, research labs, and nuclear facilities. Now a wave of research is turning the cameras and ...

The giant confinement building encapsulating the Chornobyl nuclear reactor that exploded nearly 40 years ago is smooth and curved—built with scientific precision. Installed in 2016, the structure was ...

In the science fiction movie ‘Predator’, the alien uses an advanced infrared thermal camera to get super night vision and to locate Dutch's hiding area accurately. Any object whose absolute ...
