Semiconductor radioactivity detector
Robert Gawron has been working on a semiconductor radioactivity detector project: Currently I’m trying to make a working version of a radioactivity detector that uses semiconductor as a sensor. It’s a different approach than Geiger-Muller detectors, more complicated, but also...
