Over the years we’ve featured quite a few radiatioactivity detectors, which usually include a Geiger-Muller tube, or perhaps a large-area photodiode. But in the event of radiation exposure from ...

These muon particles are heavyweight cousins of electrons that travel close to the speed of light. They can penetrate through ...

In this review, we take a look at the second version of their Nuclear Radiation Detector (or Geiger counter), the GC-02 ... and the time counter above the dose rate starts counting. The instrument ...

The counter's detector should pass over the area about 1 - 2 inches from the surface. In order to keep the instrument itself ... have any questions about using Geiger counters, calibration information ...

The research paper reports a breakthrough that will enable gravitational-wave detectors to reach extreme laser powers. It ...

The flexible modularity of the Mikron 71 fluorescence detector enables it to be configured for almost any fluidic application. It is particularly ideal for instruments lacking fluorescence detection ...

It's a key problem that will need to be addressed if humans are to attempt deep-space, long-duration missions. Not only is radiation exposure a dangerous health risk to humans, but it also poses a ...

A report of the detection of microwave radiation from water molecules in space, by the group which recently detected interstellar ammonia emission. MICROWAVE emission from the 616523 rotational ...

Simply testing the sensitivity of our radiation detection instruments is thus insufficient alone for judging whether our investments are worthwhile. Without a better understanding of the enemy ...

A violin made by the famed Antonio Stradivari in 1714 has the potential to become the most expensive musical instrument ever sold when it goes up for auction Friday at Sotheby's in New York.
