Long-term operation of a multi-channel cosmic muon system based on scintillation counters with MRS APD light readout [PDF]
, 2008 A Cosmic Ray Test Facility (CRTF) is the first large-scale implementation of a scintillation triggering system based on a new scintillation technique known as START.

Remote control of neural function by X-ray-induced scintillation
Nature Communications, 2019 Scintillators emit visible luminescence when irradiated with X-rays. Given the unlimited tissue penetration of X-rays, the employment of scintillators could enable remote optogenetic control of neural functions at any depth of the brain.

Fast Neutron Detector Based on Hybrid 2D Perovskite Thin Films
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This work presents the direct detection of fast neutrons using flexible hybrid 2D perovskite (PEA2PbBr4) thin‐film detectors. Thanks to their high low‐Z elements content and good charge transport, these materials enable efficient neutron detection. The thin film configuration allowed the operation at low voltage, and offer scalability, flexibility, and

Space Weather, 2018 In early September 2017, several space weather events triggered disturbed conditions of the near‐Earth space. The combination of two coronal mass ejection arrivals, associated with an X‐class flare, caused a strong geomagnetic storm on 7 and 8 September,

Selective Membrane for Non‐Aqueous Electrochemical Flow Cells
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Sulfonated fixed charge functionalization is increased to improve the conductivity of a cation exchange membrane in a non‐aqueous electrochemical cell. Based on ex situ analyses, the material achieved the highest selectivity for this type of system to date.

BL LAC PKSB1144-379 an extreme scintillator
, 2012 Rapid variability in the radio flux density of the BL Lac object PKSB1144-379 has been observed at four frequencies, ranging from 1.5 to 15 GHz, with the VLA and the University of Tasmania's Ceduna antenna.

A new technique for infrared scintillation measurements [PDF]
, 2016 We propose a new technique to measure the infrared scintillation light yield of rare earth (RE) doped crystals by comparing it to near UV-visible scintillation of a calibrated Pr:(Lu$_{0.75}$Y$_{0.25}$)$_{3}$Al$_5$O$_{12}$ sample. As an example, we apply

Transparent Ultra-High-Loading Quantum Dot/Polymer Nanocomposite Monolith for Gamma Scintillation.
ACS Nano, 2017 Spectroscopic gamma-photon detection has widespread applications for research, defense, and medical purposes. However, current commercial detectors are either prohibitively expensive for wide deployment or incapable of producing the characteristic gamma ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Internally catalyzed siloxane dynamic chemistry is demonstrated resulting from amides covalently linked through alkyl chains to siloxanes. The alkyl length in the siloxane‐containing monomer tunes the network cross‐link density. Siloxane exchange dynamics are faster with increasing cross‐link density, because associative exchange is second order in ...

Space Weather, 2021 The temporal change in height of a specific electron density can be used as a proxy for vertical plasma drift (PVPD) at the magnetic equator. The use of PVPDs as a predictor of low‐latitude ionospheric scintillation during the subsequent evening has ...
