X-rays can be an incredibly powerful medical tool, but as evidenced by the lead aprons we don when using them, they also come with potential health risks. To solve for this, researchers have now ...

X-ray imaging is indispensable in medical diagnostics and material characterization. To generate an image, a detector converts X-rays that pass through the object into electrical signals. Higher ...

New bismuth-based organic-inorganic hybrid materials show exceptional sensitivity and long-term stability as X-ray detectors, significantly more sensitive than commercial X-ray detectors. In addition, ...

Researchers in Australia have tapped into cutting-edge materials science to produce the world's thinnest X-ray detector, the component that translates energy from radiation into visual or electronic ...

X‐ray imaging and detection technologies continue to advance rapidly, driven by innovations that improve both spatial resolution and material specificity. Recent developments have embraced novel ...

Researchers create a scalable thin-film X-ray material, enabling large-area, customizable detectors for medicine, industry, security and science. (Nanowerk News) Most people picture a doctor checking ...

Modern synchrotron x-ray sources, such as the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron (CHESS), produce x-ray beams with unprecedented capabilities. Scientists and engineers use the beams to study the ...

Researchers have created the world's thinnest X-ray detector using tin mono-sulfide (SnS) nanosheets. Highly sensitive and with a rapid response time, the new X-ray detector is less than 10 nanometers ...

There are three types of cone cells in the retina that are called L-cones (sensitive to the red light), M-cones (sensitive to the green light), and S-cones (sensitive to the blue light). The ...

The powder is finely ground with marbles and then pressed into a compact pellet that can be used as a detector. New bismuth-based organic-inorganic hybrid materials show exceptional sensitivity and ...
