The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) has successfully completed filling its 20,000-tons liquid scintillator detector and began taking data on Aug. 26. After more than a decade of ...

Safer scintillator Researchers at King's College London are developing a water-based scintillator made from quantum dots for neutrino detection. The experimental setup shows a sample of quantum dots ...

(Nanowerk News) Scintillators are detectors that make high-energy X-rays or particles visible through flashes of light to form an image. Their many applications include particle physics, medical ...

Researchers at KAUST have developed a novel approach for designing and building high-performance scintillator materials for detecting X-rays at low doses. When a scintillator is struck by high-energy ...
