New diamond-based detector for dosimetry. The team’s heteroepitaxial diamond detector has vastly improved sensitivity per volume, promising compact and consistent dosimetry in a wide range of ...

THE methods of measuring radiation for any purpose must in the end be determined by the fact that we are concerned with a form of energy. In particular, the biological or medical use of radiation is ...

A two-month stint on the moon would expose astronauts to roughly the same amount of radiation as they would get living on the International Space Station for five months, according to new measurements ...

Advancements in the sensor industry have resulted in improved communication between devices, with protocols like Modbus leading the way. However, challenges in the field persist. Be it passive ...

The National Quality Forum has announced its board of directors has endorsed a new safety measure focused addressing radiation dosing in computed tomography, according to an NQF news release. The ...

It’s one small step for a mannequin, one giant leap for womankind. Mannequins designed to represent female bodies will be sent into space for the first time on NASA’s Artemis I mission later this year ...
