When you think of a radiation detector, you’re probably thinking of a Geiger tube and its high voltage circuitry. That isn’t the only way to measure gamma radiation, though, and [Alan] has a ...

An international team of astronomers reports the detection of four new gamma-ray millisecond pulsars using the Murriyang ...

[Dosimeter] - Ultrafast sensitive scintillation detector [Spectrometry] - Spectrum analyzer and isotope identifier 9-10% (FWHM) for Cs-137 [Radiation mapping] - Create tracks with Google Maps or ...

The high-energy gamma ray detector that Carl Willis used to analyze the soviet smoke detector, located in his spare bedroom. He digs further into this analysis, using the ratio of plutonium to ...

Previous flares observed from the distant galaxy consisted of a few gamma rays per minute hitting the team's detector over several days. Another member of the team, John Finley, assistant professor of ...

Using a gamma camera - special gamma ray detector - these areas can be located. Medical instruments are too expensive to be thrown away once they have been used, so they are washed several times ...

A new way to locate peat soils using gamma ray detectors mounted on aircraft has been developed by Irish scientists. Most of Ireland’s peatlands emit carbon because of land drainage and peat ...
