This tiny chip can withstand temperatures up to 1,500 degrees and could one day sit inside the core of a nuclear reactor, delivering critical real-time data.

An UV Sensor is used for detecting the intensity of incident ultraviolet (UV) radiation – radiation lying in the ultraviolet range, with wave lengths shorter than light but longer than Xrays. UV ...

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 great ...

Those of us who have not been in that position can only imagine the anguish of learning that your teenager has cancer. This happened to [Rob], whose child was diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer.

R esearchers in the US have developed microelectronic sensors that are capable of surviving temperatures as high as 1,832 ...

Stillwater, OK–Students from OSU’s Radiation Physics Laboratory built and successfully launched a cosmic radiation detector this summer that reached the edge of outer space. Carried by a helium-filled ...

Scientists have developed a fully transparent skin sensor that accurately measures UV radiation, detecting light and ...

The important things you need to know about radiation are covered in these two e-learning modules on Radiation. The first module provides a basic understanding about radiation - what it is, where it ...

The semiconductor manufacturer ams Osram has presented a new type of plug-and-play sensor module for computer tomography. The highly integrated and robust detector technology can be easily handled via ...

It has now been a year since NASA successfully expanded a habitat attached to the International Space Station, the experimental Bigelow Expandable Activity Module. Initial tests on the module suggest ...
