Photon-counting CT employs direct conversion detectors to deliver high‑resolution, low‑dose spectral imaging. Sophie O’Neill takes a look at the potential of this emerging imaging technology ...

There are a lot of situations where a research group may turn to an electron microscope to get information about whatever system they might be studying. Assessing the structure of a virus or protein, ...

The intrinsic sluggish kinetics of organodisulfides has hindered its further application in large-scale energy storage. In this work, we propose a unique redox mediator (carbon disulfide [CS 2]) ...

One of the challenges involved in recycling plastic is determining the specific type of plastic a given item is actually made of. To keep up with demand, large scale recycling centers rely on various ...

As the core device of the quantum information field, the single photon avalanche photodiode (SPAD) is a solid-state single photon detector with a pico-second level time-resolution, low bias voltage, ...

Hemopexin is the main plasmatic scavenger of cell-free heme, released in the context of intravascular hemolysis or major cell injury. Heme is indispensable for the oxygen transport by hemoglobin but ...

The authors provide a technical overview of the design and operating principles of variable wavelength and photodiode array detectors, and include historical perspectives and common practices in ...

Abstract: A front-end application-specified integrated circuit (ASIC) chip has been developed for avalanche-photodiode (APD) array detectors in X-ray time-resolved experiments. The chip has eight ...

This is a simple color sensor using Arduino Uno R3 and TCS3200 color sensor module. It can be useful for color identification and detection for food-processing units, color printer applications, paint ...
