The president of Acrorad, a company developing X-ray detectors based in Okinawa, has been working to replace the luminescing ceramic with a semiconductor called cadmium telluride (CdTe).

First developed for the Large Hadron Collider, hybrid pixel detectors are now changing the face of X-ray imaging in medical ...

Developed by the University of Toledo, the cell achived the highest efficiency ever reported for flexible cadmium telluride solar cells to date. The device reached an open-circuit voltage of 861 ...

News reports quickly circulated after the event, warning of the risk of cadmium telluride leaking from the cracked panels and toxifying the nearby water table. “My concern is the hail damage ...

cadmium telluride and cadmium indium gallium selenide. The emission directly correlates to the solar-collection efficiency. Electroluminescence imaging can be used for the detection of cracks ...

A little over a year ago we’d written about a sub $100 muon detector that MIT doctoral candidate [Spencer Axani] and a few others had put together. At the time there was little more than a paper ...

The mirrors for NASA's Near-Earth Object Surveyor space telescope are being installed and aligned, and work on other spacecraft components is accelerating.

Cadmium is a metal in group IIB of the periodic table with atomic number 48, an atomic weight of 112.40, and a density of 8.65 Mg/m 3. Its melting point is 320.9 C, and it boils at 7654 C. The ...

Water polluted with heavy metals can pose a threat when consumed by humans and aquatic life. Sugar-derived polymers from plants remove these metals but often require other substances to adjust ...
