Canadian technology start-up Medscint is partnering with researchers at UMC Utrecht to develop a real-time dosimetry platform for MR-guided adaptive radiotherapy Optical innovation, clinical ...

Canadian technology start-up Medscint is working with customers to develop a new generation of real-time, small-field dosimetry solutions based on plastic scintillation detectors Optical innovation: ...

Geiger counters are a popular hacker project, and may yet prove useful if and when the nuclear apocalypse comes to pass. They’re not the only technology out there for detecting radiation however.

An unconventional telescope spreads across Utah's dry Bonneville lake bed. Made up of hundreds of giant rusty detectors, the instrument studies cosmic rays, the high-energy particles that come from ...

A free neutron outside a nucleus is not stable. It undergoes beta decay at a probability. Over time, the number of free neutrons decreases exponentially at a time constant, which is called the neutron ...

Can’t find a recently updated survey of radioactivity in your neighborhood? Try [Hunter Long]’s DIY scintillation counter warwalking rig. (Video also embedded below.) What looks like a paint can with ...

Ever since the Fukushima nuclear reactor disaster, there has understandably been an upsurge in the sale of consumer radiation-detecting devices. Most of these gadgets are variations on the Geiger ...

The miniaturization of computers makes it increasingly possible to use mobile instruments to detect and measure radiation. The IAEA supports its Member States in deploying such technology in real ...

Efficient radiation detectors must be able to distinguish between different radioactive sources and for gamma-ray detection, scintillator materials with high energy resolution, high light yield, and a ...
