Terrorists may be able to slip lethal nuclear materials undetected by U.S. detection resources because the Department of Homeland Security isn’t making certain its $350 million in research grants are ...

Nuclear fission has long been a cornerstone of global energy production. With increasing energy demands, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) estimates that nuclear capacity will rise by 80% ...

You might think that a nuclear explosion is not something you need a detector for, but clearly not everyone agrees. [Bigcrimping] has not only built one, the BhangmeterV2, but he has its output ...

In a bid to revolutionize fields such as clean energy research, environmental monitoring, and medicine, the staff and students at the University of the West of Scotland (UWS) have developed the ...

A group of soldiers built a backpack that eliminates what is typically an eight-hour wait time when transporting a mobile nuclear detector and provides onboard power and ways to analyze samples when ...

WASHINGTON — Federal investigators say the government’s next generation radiation detectors are only marginally better at detecting hidden nuclear material than monitors already at U.S. ports, but ...

WASHINGTON — At a busy border crossing, a truck passing through a radiation scanner sets off an alarm. It could be a nuclear device, but it’s far more likely to be kitty litter, ceramic tile, or a ...

A method developed by LANL researchers can help investigators determine source of unknown nuclear fuel in just 30 minutes.

Nuclear track detectors (NTDs) are solid-state devices that record the passage of high-energy charged particles by forming latent tracks in a material that can later be revealed through chemical ...

Buffoons at the Department of Homeland Security have come up with yet another genius plan. Deputy Director Rolf Dietrich thinks it would be “a really, really neat thing” to equip all cellphones with ...
