Super scintillators enable X-ray detection at an ultralow level

The introduction of lead-free metal halide powder into a scintillation screen took some tinkering. KAUST researchers have worked out the right technique. They were able to produce an exceptionally efficient, robust and flexible scintillation film. This will bring significant improvements in medical, industrial and...

Study investigates X-ray variability of the binary system HD 189733

Astronomers observed a binary system known as HD 189733. They have used ESA's XMM-Newton satellite. The study has been published in arXiv.org. The study delivers information regarding the peculiar X-ray variability of this binary. It is located 63 light years away from the Earth. HD 189733 is...

Dark matter travelling through stars could produce potentially detectable shock waves

SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Université Paris Saclay scientists have carried out a theoretical study that could introduce a new way of searching for dark matter. The research paper has been published in Physical Review Letters. It shows that when macroscopic dark matter travels...

New ultra-fast 3D printer works like a reverse scanner

A new 3D printer has the principles of a CT scanner. It has light modelling of materials. It will produce objects with unique property combinations in record time. Technical University of Denmark researchers are working to make a reality with a new 3D printing technology based...
