Setup of the portable scanning system: a smartphone positioned above an LED-lit chamber for consistent film image capture. Prompt, individual-based dose assessment is essential to protect people from ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers from Skoltech have devised a way to detect infrared radiation across a wide range without cooling the detector.

To meet those needs, engineers at Ametek Advanced Measurement Technology, Paoli, Pa. (ametek.com),upgraded an earlier offering and now manufacture the Detective-Ex-100. It uses a larger, high-purity ...

Silicon semiconductors are widely used as particle detectors; however, their long-term operation is constrained by performance degradation in high-radiation environments. Researchers at University of ...
