The advance hints at the possibility of portable muon-making devices that could help peer through solid materials for hidden contraband.

In a collaboration that demonstrates the power of innovation and teamwork, physicists and engineers at the Department of ...

Why is this better than conventional instructional muon detectors? It is fully self-contained: you don’t need a HV power supply, NIM modules, oscilloscopes… It is efficient. It draws less than 1 watt ...

A recent study offers proof of feasibility for using cosmic radiation detectors to discover underground spaces. The detectors ...

Israeli researchers use muon detectors, which detect elementary particles akin to heavy electrons, to reveal subterranean ...

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Canadian Earth ‘x-ray’ start-up Ideon Technologies is initiating the world’s first field trials of a muon detector that fits down industry-standard ...

There’s something compelling about high-altitude ballooning. For not very much money, you can release a helium-filled bag and let it carry a small payload aloft, and with any luck graze the edge of ...

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Canadian Earth ‘x-ray’ start-up Ideon Technologies and French Orano Group (Orano), one of the top world uranium producers, have deployed the world’s first ...

From the pyramids in Egypt, through the Maya cities in South America, to ancient sites in Israel, archaeologists struggle to ...

The Space Force has awarded Muon Space $44.6 million to develop and build a space-based environmental monitoring prototype that can assist mission planners while also being used as wildfire detection.
