Using 4 million year old radioactive sharks' teeth, a sodium iodine scintillator and a gamma ray spectrometer, a group of Lamar University scientists believe they are on track to developing a new way ...

A collaboration of university scientists and researchers working at Los Alamos National Laboratory has published the final paper from the Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector (LSND) experiment. The ...

Safer scintillator Researchers at King's College London are developing a water-based scintillator made from quantum dots for neutrino detection. The experimental setup shows a sample of quantum dots ...

X-ray detection is becoming increasingly important in areas from daily life for industry, the military, and scientific research. The process of scintillation materials is converting the X-ray, ...

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) has successfully completed filling its 20,000-tons liquid scintillator detector and begun data taking on Aug. 26. After more than a decade of ...

(Nanowerk News) Scintillators are detectors that make high-energy X-rays or particles visible through flashes of light to form an image. Their many applications include particle physics, medical ...

GUANGZHOU, Aug. 26 (Xinhua) -- The world's largest transparent spherical detector began operation in China on Tuesday, making ...

To say that neutrinos aren’t the easiest particles to study would be a bit of an understatement. Outside of dark matter, there’s not much in particle physics that is as slippery as the ...

Researchers at KAUST have developed a novel approach for designing and building high-performance scintillator materials for detecting X-rays at low doses. When a scintillator is struck by high-energy ...

A research team led by Prof. WU Yuntao from the Shanghai Institute of Ceramics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, together with collaborators from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, has ...
