Plastic scintillators are good alternatives for liquids, single crystals used in fields of nuclear safety, border security for neutron detection in the presence of a gamma radiation background, as ...

Researchers have developed a transmissive thin scintillator using perovskite nanocrystals, designed for real-time tracking and counting of single protons. The exceptional sensitivity is attributed to ...

Neutrinos are perhaps one of the most elusive yet ubiquitous particles around us. Researchers at CERN have invested heavily in detecting these ghastly particles with the T2K experiment, which is a ...

Additive manufacturing techniques like fused deposition modeling, aka 3D printing, are often used for rapid prototyping. Another advantage is that it can create shapes that are too complex to be made ...

Early-career medical physicists in Ireland are getting to grips with a new generation of real-time, small-field dosimetry solutions based on plastic scintillation detectors Hands-on learning The ...

Measuring coincidence time resolution: The heterostructure and reference crystal are placed on opposite sides of a 22 Na source and coupled to silicon photomultipliers, with the signals read out by ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

A team of engineers at Sandia National Labs developed a scintillator made of an organic glass which is more effective and less costly than the current state of the art scintillators made of ...

Researchers in Japan have developed a method for making radiation detection devices out of recycled PET bottles that cuts costs by 90% over currently used devices. The resource reusing, life-saving ...
