WASHINGTON — NASA is investigating a detector problem common to three primary instruments on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) that could get worse with time as a planned 2014 launch date for the ...
For more than a century, physicists have watched particles rain down from space carrying energies that dwarf anything a ...
Custom-made hybrid pixel array detectors (HPADs) have been developed for synchrotron applications, scientists report. The research group has shown that it is now possible to develop HPADs with ...
Two kilometers below the surface of Sudbury, Ontario, inside a nickel mine that has been producing ore since the 1880s, a ...
Detection by Askaryan Radio Array holds promise for future research into sources, nature of cosmic rays and neutrinos ...
The world of laser scanning microscopy is quickly evolving, thanks to the advent of fast and compact detector arrays. These arrays replace the typical single-element detector of traditional confocal ...
The detector array consists of plastic scintillator detectors, quadrant silicon detectors (QSD), double-sided silicon detectors (DSSD) and high-purity germanium (HPGe) detectors. Exotic nuclei near ...
A new detector system based on the game 'Tetris' could enable inexpensive, accurate radiation detectors for monitoring nuclear sites. The spread of radioactive isotopes from the Fukushima Daiichi ...
