Generally, thin window Geiger-Mueller (GM) probes are best suited to detect beta radiation with energies above 70 keV while sodium iodide (NaI) scintillators are best for gamma radiation. For campus ...
Discerning whether a nuclear reactor is being used to also create material for nuclear weapons is difficult, but capturing and analyzing antimatter particles has shown promise for monitoring what ...
When a nuclear accident or terrorist attack affects thousands of people, medical teams face an impossible question: who was exposed to life-threatening radiation doses and who can safely go home?
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 ...
A multi-institutional team of physicists and engineers has developed a laser-based radiation detection system that operates ...
Raspberry Pi enthusiasts or those of you looking to build your very own radiation detector might be interested in a new project published to the official MagPi magazine website over the weekend ...
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 ...
This Japanese device turns your smartphone into a nuclear radiation detector for just $70 (Bantan et al., 2026, Radiation Measurements, CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 ) Researchers at Hiroshima University in Japan ...
