Researchers at Sandia National Laboratory have developed a new technique for radiation detection that can work with plastic and organic scintillators that are used in radiation detection devices. Sandia says that the metal-organic frameworks, which would include a doping agent, emit red and blue light when they interact with high-energy particles that emanate from radiological or nuclear material, thereby enabling more effective detection of neutrons. The researchers say the primary application of the technology is for the detection of special…
