A PAPER on gamma-radiography was read by Mr. C. Croxson at a meeting of the Industrial Radiology Group of the Institute of Physics, held at Loughborough College, Loughborough, on February 27. Mr.

Research shows lightweight composite metal foams are effective at blocking X-rays, gamma rays and neutron radiation, and are capable of absorbing the energy of high impact collisions. The finding ...

Lead screens have a significant impact on image intensity (pixel value) in gamma exposures, particularly with higher-energy isotopes like Iridium-192. Thin lead front screens have a greater ...

BURLINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS, UNITED STATES, November 17, 2023 / EINPresswire.com / -- The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Isotope Program and QSA Global, Inc. have entered into an agreement to establish ...

On the morning of October 9, 2022, multiple space-based detectors picked up a powerful gamma-ray burst (GRB) passing through our Solar System, sending astronomers around the world scrambling to train ...

Two towering “chimneys” glowing with X-rays extend from the center of the Milky Way. The newly discovered structures could help explain the source of two even larger features: giant bubbles that emit ...

For a few seconds every day, Earth is bombarded by gamma rays created by cataclysmic explosions in distant galaxies. Such explosions, similar to supernovae, are known as ‘gamma-ray bursts’ or GRBs.

Australian Customs is set to pilot a neutron scanner facility at Brisbane International Airport to improve the security of cargo imports. The scanner uses gamma-ray and neutron radiography to produce ...

An international team of scientists has found the brightest gamma-ray binary ever seen, and it’s the first to be seen outside the Milky Way galaxy. The team combined data from NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray ...
