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 ...

Among the most fascinating phenomena are gamma rays, the most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation. Recently, ...

Physicists develop innovative technique using carbon-dioxide lasers to detect radioactive materials from safe distances for ...

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

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 ...

In this week’s Science for All newsletter, Vasudevan Mukunth explains a new way to detect radioactive materials using ...

Activation imaging using neutron-irradiated gold nanoparticles enables visualization of drug distribution in mice for several ...

The same result is obtained when studying the pulse-height from the gamma-rays emitted by different substances. There is, in this case, a continuous distribution of pulses from zero to a certain ...

Gamma rays are much shorter in wavelength than visible light, and carry a lot more energy—so much energy, that here on Earth we typically detect strong gamma-ray bursts only from the detonation ...

Measuring gamma rays has become a very effective means of ... the observatory in Sichuan is the most sensitive ultra-high-energy gammaray detection device in the world. It is located at an ...

Blackline Safety grows fire and hazmat reach and launches its new EXO 8 Gamma monitor for gas and radiation detection.

X-rays are also used in airport security scanners and to detect broken pipes underground. Gamma rays are also used to produce medical images and to sterilise medical instruments, in a similar way ...
