Silicon semiconductors are widely used as particle detectors; however, their long-term operation is constrained by performance degradation in high-radiation environments. Researchers at University of ...

Researchers from Skoltech have devised a way to detect infrared radiation across a wide range without cooling the detector.

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 ...

The University of Jyväskylä (Finland), in collaboration with the Finnish Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (STUK), has developed a new type of handheld multi-purpose radiation detector that ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The detection and measurement of ionizing radiation has long been a critical capability in fields ranging from medical imaging to nuclear energy to space exploration. However, ...

The research team led by Dr. Jae Hwa Seo at Advanced Semiconductor Research Center of KERI has developed technology to evaluate radiation resistance and secure reliability of silicon carbide (SiC) ...

Semiconductor detectors that directly measure the electrical signals produced by X-rays have hugely improved the resolution and contrast of computed tomography scanners. In the 1970s computed ...
