Microchip has recently introduced a series of radiation-tolerant DC-DC converters LE50-28 series, that are specifically designed to work for Lower Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. The power supplies come in nine variants with single and triple output options. The company mentions that the...

Beijing Betavolt New Energy Technology Co.Ltd., also known as Betavolt, has announced the BV100, a 3V "nuclear battery" for everyday use. This 15 x 15 x 5mm battery has a max output capacity of 100 microwatts (µW) and can last for 50 years without the need for a recharge. The company...

Teledyne e2v HiRel announced the availability of 3 new radiation dosimeter models that further broaden its popular range of radiation measurement devices. Aimed at high altitude aerospace applications and all space applications from GEO satellites and LEO constellations to scientific...

The usual approach to radiation detection is the use of a Geiger-Müller tube and its high voltage circuit requirements, but during a quick surf through the internet today, I came across this portable and "accurate looking" solution developed by Stefan Wagner, on EasyEDA. Rather than...

Author: Burkhard Kainka All that’s required to measure radiation is a simple PIN photodiode and a suitable preamplifier circuit. We present here an optimised preamplifier and a microcontroller-based counter. The microcontroller takes care of measuring time and pulse rate, displaying...

LASER COMPONENTS is a world leading manufacturer of lead salt infrared detectors. From our research and production facility in Arizona we supply customers all over the world with these industrial grade thermal detectors. These detectors work on the principle that photons incident on...

Quickly identify radioactive materials with a pocket-sized ion chamber. Built from standard parts for easy manufacture and low cost. by Carlos Garcia Saura: Nuclear radiation is invisible and can be harmful to life. The goal of this project is to provide a simple device that could...

Radiation is always present in our lives. We can't see, taste, feel or smell it, but it exists. Excessive exposure to ionizing radiation may cause potential damage to our health. The new Dosime device helps you to track and understand radiation exposure in your environment and display...
