Researchers from Aalto University and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland have built a super-sensitive bolometer, a type of thermal radiation detector. The new radiation detector, made of a ...

What do bananas, smoke alarms, toilets and large granite buildings have in common? They're all sufficiently radioactive to set off detectors. Efforts since 9/11 to prevent the detonation of a dirty ...

ANN ARBOR—A handheld radiation camera developed by University of Michigan engineering researchers offers nuclear plant operators a faster way to find potentially dangerous hot spots and leaky fuel ...

CMOS image sensors, originally developed for conventional photography, have evolved into versatile detectors capable of monitoring various forms of radiation. Their compact design, low power ...

The nanoscale radiation detector is a hundred times faster than its predecessors, and can function without interruption. Researchers from Aalto University and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland ...
