Measurement of radon concentrations at Super-Kamiokande

, 1999
Radioactivity from radon is a major background for observing solar neutrinos at Super-Kamiokande. In this paper, we describe the measurement of radon concentrations at Super-Kamiokande, the method of radon reduction, and the radon monitoring system.

All‐Optical Reconfigurable Physical Unclonable Function for Sustainable Security

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
An all‐optical reconfigurable physical unclonable function (PUF) is demonstrated using plasmonic coupling–induced sintering of optically trapped gold nanoparticles, where Brownian motion serves as a robust entropy source. The resulting optical PUF exhibits high encoding density, strong resistance to modeling attacks, and practical authentication ...

The bioindication of the radiation conditions

RUDN Journal of Ecology and Life Safety, 2008
Bioindication on the basis of accumulation ability of indicators is based on ability of some species to accumulate polluting substances, including radionuclidas, in the concentration exceeding their maintenance in other environments.

Why Is the Mechanism Underlying the Chiral‐Induced Selectivity Effect Still Challenging?

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The chiral‐induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect is observed in many experimental configurations and for different materials. However, there are theoretical challenges in attempting to explain those results. A qualitative framework for explaining all the results is presented.

Hierarchical Multi‐Material Architectures With Gradient Design for Dynamic‐Range Flexible Tactile Sensing

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Hierarchical multi‐material TPMS lattices are engineered as flexible tactile sensors by combining soft and stiff elastomeric layers with a conformal conductive coating. The bilayer architecture delivers sensitivity at low pressures while maintaining a broad detectable range under large loads, enabling reliable pressure and vibration monitoring for ...

Broadband Directional Thermal Radiation with Asymmetric Femtosecond Laser‐Processed Surfaces

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Femtosecond laser processing is used to scalably create self‐organized angled microstructures which exhibit highly directional emissivity that occurs for all polarizations. Laser parameters are tuned to alter the surface features, control the direction of emission, and enhance the directional emissivity. Electromagnetic modeling is performed to analyze
