Orbray unveils the world’s first high-precision diamond-based nuclear radiation detector, offering unmatched accuracy and ...

This tells us that a dull, black surface is a better absorber of radiation than a shiny, polished surface. Dark matt surfaces are better at absorbing heat energy than light shiny surfaces.

Radiative heat transfer is one of the most critical energy transfer mechanisms in nature. However, traditional blackbody ...

Curved, trough-shaped reflectors concentrate solar energy and direct it onto a receiver pipe in this arrangement. In a steam ...

A step forward in the development of diamond CMOS integrated circuits. A research team at NIMS has developed the world’s ...

Radioactivity is a part of our earth - it has existed all along. Naturally occurring radioactive materials are present in its crust, the floors and walls of our homes, schools, or offices and in the ...

Unlike photovoltaic technology, which converts solar radiation directly into electricity ... it will nearly double the amount of solar thermal energy produced in the United States.

If it is recycled in a carefully controlled way, not only can thermal energy be generated ... a very special type of light source: terahertz radiation from a quantum cascade laser.

To design long-lasting reactors, scientists must understand how radiation-induced chemical reactions impact structural materials. Chemists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven ...
