Theories of quantum mechanics predict that some particles can exist in superpositions, which essentially means that they can be in more than one state at once. When a particle's state is measured, ...

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated a new and faster method for detecting and measuring the radioactivity of minuscule amounts of radioactive ...

A multi-institutional team of physicists and engineers has developed a laser-based radiation detection system that operates from as far away as 10 meters and perhaps farther. Their research is ...

Silicon carbide radiation detectors represent a significant advance in semiconductor technology due to their wide bandgap, robustness, and high-temperature tolerance. These detectors are engineered to ...

Industrial Scientific has upgraded the Radius BZ1 Area Monitor by adding gamma radiation detection, enabling fire departments ...

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 ...

Unveiled at Modern Day Marine 2026, Teledyne FLIR Defense announced the expansion of its Third-Party Payload Integration ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) When a patient receives radiation therapy for cancer treatment, doctors must carefully control the radiation dose to target tumor cells while sparing healthy tissue. This requires ...
