The instinctive reaction when measuring nuclear radiation is to think of a Geiger counter, as the low-pressure gas tube detectors have entered our popular culture through the Cold War. A G-M tube ...

Over the years we’ve featured quite a few radiatioactivity detectors, which usually include a Geiger-Muller tube, or perhaps a large-area photodiode. But in the event of radiation exposure from ...

Radiation detectors act as the "eyes" for scientists, enabling the observation and study of nuclear radiation and microscopic particles. Traditional detectors, however, often struggle with low ...

Both ionizing and non-ionizing radiation can be harmful to both organisms and the natural environment. Radiation testers either measure the levels of Ionizing or non-ionizing radiation from Nuclear ...

After a PET scan, how long does a patient need to wait before using public transportation without setting off radiation detectors? » Does a patient need to restrict his or her activities after a ...

Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) detectors, introduced by Prof. Fabio Sauli in 1997, have become essential tracking devices in ...

VeriFinder combines fast and accurate threat detection with calibration- and maintenance-free operation Symetrica is to launch a handheld radiation detector that combines high-accuracy, high-speed ...

Silicon photodiodes for detection of UV and EUV photon. The SXUV series diodes show less than 2% responsivity change after exposure to billions of 10 micrjoule/cm2 pulses from 157 and 193 nm excimer ...

A helicopter outfitted with radiological detection equipment has been making low-altitude flights over New Orleans and ...

The uptake, turnover and/or excretion of the tracer substance is then studied with a gamma camera, positron emission tomography (PET) camera or another instrument, such as a simple stationary ...
