The instinctive reaction when measuring nuclear radiation is to think of a Geiger counter, as the low-pressure gas tube detectors have entered our popular culture through the Cold War. A G-M tube ...

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 ...

MEPhI [Moscow Engineering & Physics Institute] is creating a line of instruments for radioisotope control of industrial ...

Both ionizing and non-ionizing radiation can be harmful to both organisms and the natural environment. Radiation testers either measure the levels of Ionizing or non-ionizing radiation from Nuclear ...

These nuclear storage scenarios will need reliable detection equipment to ensure ... including monitoring the natural background radiation along oil and gas pipelines, monitoring radiation at ...

Recently, the group of Prof. Labao Zhang of Nanjing University, together with the group of researcher Haiyong Gan of the National Institute of Metrology, China, have developed a new thermal radiation ...

Aboard the International Space Station, UK astronaut Tim Peake monitors his radiation exposure using a TimePix detector. Using a student from the audience to help, Kevin shows that a Geiger-Muller ...
