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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 group at the Swiss Light Source at PSI has been one of the pioneers in the development of custom-made hybrid pixel array detectors (HPADs) for ...

Advanced-technology sensors, coupled with data processing and fusion and networked communications, have enabled new approaches to warfighting and have been essential for reducing combat losses, ...

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 ...

An immense advantage of EM 2 detectors is that—when calibrated properly—they are noiseless and single ion counting is possible. The essence of an EM is a serial connection of discrete metal plates ...
