In a bid to revolutionize fields such as clean energy research, environmental monitoring, and medicine, the staff and students at the University of the West of Scotland (UWS) have developed the ...

Fluorescent Nuclear Track Detectors (FNTDs) represent a significant leap forward in solid-state dosimetry, utilising novel luminescent materials such as aluminium oxide crystals doped with carbon and ...

You might think that a nuclear explosion is not something you need a detector for, but clearly not everyone agrees. [Bigcrimping] has not only built one, the BhangmeterV2, but he has its output ...

Perovskite crystals are quickly gaining a name for themselves in the solar energy field, thanks to their impressive ability to convert photons into electricity. But scientists have now tweaked this ...

ANN ARBOR—A handheld radiation camera developed by University of Michigan engineering researchers offers nuclear plant operators a faster way to find potentially dangerous hot spots and leaky fuel ...

Muons, similar to neutrons, are subatomic particles that travel at almost the speed of light and can penetrate deep into matter. They allow scientists to comprehend the atomic scale without destroying ...

ANN ARBOR, Mich.---A table-top gamma-ray detector created at the University of Michigan can not only identify the presence of dangerous nuclear materials, but can pinpoint and show their exact ...

Nuclear regulators, front line officers, and technical support professionals from 24 countries shared their experiences using High Purity Germanium (HPGe) detectors to maintain and strengthen nuclear ...

A nuclear power plant in Liebstadt, Switzerland, hosted the CONUS+ neutrino detector. Physicists have caught neutrinos from a nuclear reactor using a device weighing just a few kilograms, orders of ...
