Researchers have developed a better bolometer, a device for measuring electromagnetic radiation. The new technology is faster, simpler, and covers more wavelengths. Bolometers, devices that monitor ...

Cambridge, Mass. -- Materials exposed to a high-radiation environment such as the inside of a nuclear reactor vessel can gradually degrade and weaken. But to determine exactly how much damage these ...

Researchers have found a new way to measure radiation damage in materials, quickly, cheaply and continuously, using transient grating spectroscopy. Materials exposed to a high-radiation environment ...

Space is a challenging environment for semiconductors, but researchers have shown that a specific type of memristor (the hafnium oxide memristor, to be exact) actually reacts quite usefully when ...

Radiation with enough energy to cause changes at the atomic level is called ionizing radiation. It can damage cells, so it is important to measure its potential health effects – but how? Units ...

PREMSTAETTEN, Austria--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ams OSRAM (SIX: AMS), a global leader in optical solutions, has introduced a three-channel UV-A/B/C sensor, the AS7331, which brings UV dosage and exposure ...

Armed with measuring devices, groups of citizens are embracing science to monitor radioactive fallout — and regain control of lives upended by the 2011 meltdowns in Fukushima. Armed with measuring ...

Thanks to stints as an X-ray technician in my early 20s followed by work in various biology labs into my early 40s, I’ve been classified as an “occupationally exposed worker” with regard to ionizing ...

Science, founded by Thomas A. Edison in 1880 and published by AAAS, today ranks as the world's largest circulation general science journal. Published 51 times a year, Science is renowned for its ...

Accident dosimetry and radiation measurement techniques form a critical subset of radiation monitoring, enabling the reconstruction of absorbed doses following unplanned radiological events. These ...
