Semiconductor pixel detectors are an important class of radiation and particle detection devices based on semiconductors, such as germanium or silicon (Si). A semiconductor diode is depleted by ...

From the Chernobyl nuclear disaster to the release of nuclear-contaminated water from Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the ocean, ionizing radiation (IR) has been continuously drawing global ...

If you want to measure radioactivity, nothing really beats a Geiger counter: compact, rugged, and reasonably easy to use, they’re by far the most commonly used tool to detect ionizing radiation.

Radiation monitoring has long depended on bulky, specialized instruments that are scarce outside hospitals, research labs, and nuclear facilities. Now a wave of research is turning the cameras and ...

Wireless real-time radiation sensor networks offer the general public and those that work in high radiation areas greater protection against radiation hazards. Combined with real-time localized and ...

Radiation is energy that moves from one place to another in a form that can be described as waves or particles. We are exposed to radiation in our everyday life. Some of the most familiar sources of ...
