... the sensing of gamma radiation, X‐rays and ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Findings This shows that novel sensors are being developed for all of these classes of EMR. Improved gamma sensors are attracting strong interest in the USA, reflecting concerns regarding nuclear security. Novel X‐ray and UV sensors...

...Robert Bogue Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe a novel, nanomaterial‐based X‐ray imaging technology, developed at the University of North Carolina. Design/methodology/approach The paper describes a unique X‐ray source, based on field emission from a carbon nanotube (CNT) cold...

...Ahmed Al‐Shamma'a; Christine Connolly Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present improvements in X‐ray equipment, which are leading to wider use. Design/methodology/approach Developments in X‐ray sources and detectors are described. This is followed by a review of the more innovative...
