Abstract: We propose a technique to measure in situ the refractive index changes induced by ionizing radiation in single-mode optical fibers. This change can be derived from the channel drift ...

This study aims to synthesize a nanocomposite material containing nano ZnS in the PVC matrix with a surfactant as a compatibilizer agent to evaluate its optical and electrical properties when exposed ...

Abstract: This work demonstrates the synergistic effects of 100 kGy gamma irradiation on the electrical and reliability performance ... making them highly suitable for radiation-prone environments and ...

The most powerful explosions in the known universe come from what are known as gamma-ray bursts — though ... incredible blasts of electromagnetic radiation in the same breath as giant collapsing ...

The very moment two electrical currents slam together to form a lightning bolt has been captured, revealing for the first time the role this process plays in generating powerful gamma rays right here ...

This includes photons across the entire range of the electromagnetic spectrum, from the lowest radio frequencies all the way to the highest-energy gamma rays. It also includes other particles such ...

For the first time, scientists have caught lightning in the act of unleashing a powerful burst of gamma radiation known as a terrestrial gamma-ray flash (TGF). Researchers at the University of ...
