Researchers have created a very sensitive and tiny detector that is capable of detecting radiation from various sources at room temperature that is eight to nine times faster than the existing technology. A Texas A&M University at Galveston professor was a key member of the team, whose goal was to create a photo detector device with the fastest response.

Learn more about their new radiation detection device and how this technology could have huge implications for national security.
