Quantum materials could be the future of high-energy X-ray imaging and particle detection
High-resolution X-ray imaging using quantum shell thin films. Credit: Nature Communications (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-48351-9 A scintillator is a detector that visualizes high-energy X-rays or particles with a flash of light, forming an image. Its many applications include particle physics, medical imaging, X-ray security, and more. However, despite their usefulness, scintillators pose a challenge to researchers. Until recently, scientists had to…
