Micross has launched a new radiation detection device aimed at protecting critical electronics during nuclear events. The company announced the commercial release of its Standard-Performance Nuclear ...

In a muon tomography detector, cosmic-ray muons interact with an object and strike scintillators that emit photons. Wavelength-shifting fibers transmit the photons to photodetectors that digitize the ...

Researchers have completed the major construction of the Gamma-Ray Energy Tracking Array (GRETA), a next-generation nuclear detector designed to deliver the most precise measurements yet of atomic ...

Certain isotopes such as Indium-115 (In-115) are extremely long lived, taking over 100 trillon years for half of the Indium atoms to decay away. These isotopes allow scientists to probe the precise ...

Muons, similar to neutrons, are subatomic particles that travel at almost the speed of light and can penetrate deep into matter. They allow scientists to comprehend the atomic scale without destroying ...
