It was in the school I read about the Geiger-Muller counter in our nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry subjects. Since then I heard a little about its extensive use. But after the recent devastating ...

On the outside, a Geiger counter seems like a complicated thing. And you might think a device that detects a dangerous, mostly invisible threat like radiation should be complicated. But they’re ...

TOKYO — In the Akihabara electronics district, a Geiger counter sold under the Shanghai Ergonomics Detecting Instrument Co.’s DP802i brand name costs $800. For that price, twice the cost in China, it ...

In Tokyo’s Akihabara electronics district, a Geiger counter sold under the brand name of Shanghai Ergonomics Detecting Instrument Co.’s DP802i costs ¥65,000. For that price, twice the cost in China, ...

The project is concerned on building a detector for ionizing radiation known as Geiger counter with the interfacing on a microcontroller that is capable of connecting to a PC through a USB. There are ...

Three parallel Geiger-Muller Tubes were used in this project in order to produce a Cosmic Ray Muon Detector that is easy to build, low cost, and contains usable output to graph, visualize, or sonify.

My first encounter with one of the devices was only about three decades after its improvement as an invention. There was no reason for me to need one prior to then. I was a young second lieutenant in ...

At this point, atomic clocks are old news. They’ve been quietly keeping our world on schedule for decades now, and have been through several iterations with each generation gaining more accuracy. They ...
