First 'perovskite camera' can see inside the human body

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-22 04:49:08

Physicians rely on nuclear medicine scans, like SPECT scans, to watch the heart pump, track blood flow and detect diseases hidden deep inside the body. But today’s scanners depend on expensive detectors that are difficult to make. Now, scientists led by Northwestern University and Soochow University in China have built the first perovskite-based detector that can capture individual gamma rays for SPECT imaging with record-breaking precision. The new tool could make common types of nuclear medic

New York’s ‘Big Bang Machine’ Passes Critical First Test

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-10-13 04:15:20

sPHENIX is a next-generation particle detector that probes the mysterious, soupy form of the early universe. We know very little about the first few microseconds after the Big Bang. We have theories, most of which we’re still double- and triple-checking to see if they actually make scientific sense. The research process can seem tedious at times, but a newcomer from Long Island offers promising advances in our quest to understand how our universe came to be. In a recent paper for the Journal o

China Just Took the Hunt for Elusive ‘Ghost Particles’ to the Next Level

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-10-23 09:55:48

The elusive neutrino—a near massless particle with no charge—tests the limits of physicists’ creativity, but sometimes the answer is just to go big. And the biggest detector of them all has finally joined the search for the so-called “ghost particles.” After a decade of construction, China’s Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) officially began taking data on August 26.

Record-Setting Dark Matter Detector Comes Up Empty—and That’s Good News

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2026-01-27 21:35:40

WIMPs (weakly interacting massive particles) are one of the most serious contenders for dark matter—the “missing” mass supposedly constituting 85% of our universe. Given its elusiveness, dark matter tests the patience and creativity of physicists. But the latest results from LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ), the South Dakota-based detector, may have brought scientists a small step closer to catching WIMPs in action. In a recent Physical Review Letters paper, scientists analyzed 280 days’ worth of data from LUX-

8 Best Water Leak Detectors (2025), Tested and Reviewed

wired.com Simon Hill 2026-02-22 12:30:00

Other Leak Detectors We Like Photograph: Simon Hill First Alert L1 Wi-Fi Water Leak and Freeze Detector for $64: This large flood sensor, branded First Alert, works with First Alert or Resideo apps and accessories. It sends push notifications and emails to alert you to any leak and sports a 100-decibel alarm that you can stop with the side button. The sensor was relatively slow to alert in all my tests, and the push notifications only came through when my phone was connected to Wi-Fi. The 5-fo

Denmark's Archaeology Experiment Is Paying Off in Gold and Knowledge

news.ycombinator.com Elizabeth Anne Brown 2026-02-23 16:13:15

Ole Ginnerup Schytz, an engineer in Denmark’s sleepy Vindelev agricultural area, had used a metal detector only a handful of times when he found a bent clump of metal in a friend’s barley field. He figured it was the lid from a container of tinned fish and tossed it in his junk bag with the other bits of farm trash that had set his metal detector beeping: rusty nails, screws, scrap iron. A few paces away he dug up another shiny circle. Someone had clearly enjoyed a lot of tinned fish here—into t

Radio pulses detected coming from ice in Antarctica

Once detected and traced to their source, these particles can reveal more about cosmic events than even the most high-powered telescopes, Wissel added, as the particles can travel undisturbed and almost as fast as the speed of light, giving clues about cosmic events that happened lightyears away. Wissel and teams of researchers around the world have been working to design and build special detectors to capture sensitive neutrino signals, even in relatively small amounts. Even one small signal f
