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 ...

Using an infrared pulsed carbon dioxide laser, project leader Howard Milchberg and his team showed that they could detect low ...

Straight out of the Cold War, this vintage radiation detector was built to survive nuclear fallout—but can it still detect ...

(InfraRed detector) A sensing device that picks up radiation in the infrared band. Used extensively for still and video night vision cameras, cooled IR detectors can sense the makeup of nebulae ...

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 ...

This effect is used by people who work with radiation in detectors called film badges. On each side of the badge are various 'windows' - numbered 1-6 in the picture above. The open window allows ...

Vital experimentation tools at the forefront of fundamental physics research, germanium detectors are large, single crystals of germanium — a metallic element — used to detect radiation and enable ...

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 ...

A report of the detection of microwave radiation from water molecules in space, by the group which recently detected interstellar ammonia emission. MICROWAVE emission from the 616523 rotational ...
