Making strides in quantum dot infrared photodetectors
Researchers at Northwestern University have made significant strides in the development of quantum dot infrared photodetectors -- technology that may provide new imaging techniques with applications in medical and biological imaging, environmental and chemical monitoring, night vision and infrared imaging from space. view more (2007-05-18)
Particle physics fights terrorism
Scientists have developed a detector for plastic explosives. A consortium of scientists from Imperial College, other universities and industy have created the detector, which uses neutrons and is based on technologies developed for the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, Geneva. The technique overcomes problems with other devices that can confuse - for... view more... (1997-11-03)
LIDAR Imaging Detector Could Build 'Super Road Maps' of Planets and Moons
Technology that could someday "MapQuest" Mars and other bodies in the solar system is under development at Rochester Institute of Technology's Rochester Imaging Detector Laboratory (RIDL), in collaboration with Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Lincoln Laboratory. view more (2008-05-16)
Toward world's smallest radio: nano-sized detector turns radio waves into music
Researchers report development of the world's first working radio system that receives radio waves wirelessly and converts them to sound signals through a nano-sized detector made of carbon nanotubes. view more (2007-10-18)
Delft nano-detector very promising for remote cosmic realms
A miniscule but super-sensitive sensor can help solve the mysteries of outer space. Cosmic radiation, which contains the terahertz frequencies that the sensors detect, offers astronomers important new information about the birth of star systems and planets. view more (2007-01-18)
2,500 researchers, 1 supermachine, 1 new snapshot of the universe
Deep in the bowels of the earth -100 metres below ground in Geneva, Switzerland - lies a supermachine of 27 km circumference called the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) that has been built to unlock the mysteries of the universe. view more (2008-04-01)
Virtual robot outlines damaged heart muscle
In a joint project with the STW Technology Foundation, medical information technologists from Leiden have developed a virtual robot which meticulously scans the heart muscle using images of the heart. The contours detector reduces the work of specialists and does not affect the patients. The research group will present the results in the middle of... view more... (2002-05-23)
New chemical imaging technique could help in the fight against atherosclerosis, suggests research
A new chemical imaging technique could one day help in the fight against atherosclerosis, suggests research published in the August 2009 edition of the Journal of the Royal Society Interface. view more (2009-07-31)
New quantum dot transistor counts individual photons
A transistor containing quantum dots that can count individual photons (the smallest particles of light) has been designed and demonstrated at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). view more (2007-10-12)
Listening to dark matter
A team of researchers in Canada have made a bold stride in the struggle to detect dark matter. The PICASSO collaboration has documented the discovery of a significant difference between the acoustic signals induced by neutrons and alpha particles in a detector based on superheated liquids. view more (2008-10-16)
Angled gantry technique reduced breast radiation exposure by 50 percent
A novel angled gantry approach to coronary CT angiography reduced radiation exposure to the breast by more than 50%, according to Thomas Jefferson University researchers. view more (2008-12-04)
Physicists meet to discuss $170 million neutrinos project
Physicists from all over the world will meet this week at the University of Sussex to discuss the latest developments in a $170 million project called MINOS. view more (2002-09-09)
New detector will aid dark matter search
Several research projects are underway to try to detect particles that may make up the mysterious "dark matter" believed to dominate the universe's mass. view more (2008-12-12)
MINOS detector ready to take first data
Today, (August 14th), sees the start of data collection on the Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search (MINOS) detector, situated in the Soudan iron mine, Minnesota, USA. UK particle physicists, working within an international collaboration, will use the MINOS detector to investigate the phenomenon of neutrino mass - a puzzle that goes to the... view more...

PIONEERING LOW-COST MEDICAL SCANNER DEVELOPED IN THE UK
A new type of medical imaging camera which is much less expensive than its conventional counterpart has been developed by researchers funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. The imaging method - positron emission tomography - is becoming increasingly important in the diagnosis of many diseases, especially cancer.Clinical... view more... (2000-07-10)
Just-Right PET/CT Imaging for Patients of All Sizes
Researchers discovered that diagnostic accuracy of images can be improved for people of varying weight and size with use of a fully 3-D, time-of-flight positron emission tomography (PET) with computed tomography (CT) scanner. view more (2006-06-05)
GEO600 starts continuous search for Gravitational Waves
The joint German-British Gravitational Wave Detector GEO600 has now entered an 18-month run of continuous measurement. view more (2006-06-27)
HOPE for detecting landmines
It will soon be easier, safer and quicker to detect land mines, thanks to a Handheld Operational Demining System project, better known as HOPE. ESA has played an important role in this EU project, which could save thousands of lives each year. HOPE is part of the European Union's efforts to support humanitarian demining operations. ESA assists... view more... (2001-05-29)
Last large piece of ATLAS detector lowered underground
Today, researchers in the U.S. ATLAS collaboration joined colleagues around the world to celebrate a pivotal landmark in the construction of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) - the lowering of the final piece of the ATLAS particle detector into the underground collision hall at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. view more (2008-03-03)
