Researchers at Argonne National Laboratory and SLAC have designed a detector chip that compresses X-ray data by factors of ...

X-rays can be an incredibly powerful medical tool, but as evidenced by the lead aprons we don when using them, they also come with potential health risks. To solve for this, researchers have now ...

Detectors that are presently used for mammograms and for dose measurements in radiotherapy are often rigid, causing errors in screening, or dose delivery to surrounding healthy tissue. This has raised ...
