A tiny neutrino detector has found its footing in a fresh setting — at a nuclear reactor. Conventional detectors of the subatomic particles require metric tons of material. But the new detector has a ...

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 ...

Tokyo-based precision components manufacturer Orbray has announced the development of an advanced radiation nuclear detector. This detector is unique because it is based on the company’s proprietary ...

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, 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 ...

High-energy neutrinos are extremely rare particles that have so far proved very difficult to detect. Fluxes of these rare particles were first detected by the IceCube Collaboration back in 2013.

Nuclear track detectors (NTDs) are solid-state devices that record the passage of high-energy charged particles by forming latent tracks in a material that can later be revealed through chemical ...

In a muon tomography detector, cosmic-ray muons interact with an object and strike scintillators that emit photons. Wavelength-shifting fibers transmit the photons to photodetectors that digitize the ...

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 ...
