"Breakthrough: Scientists Unveil Durable & Sensitive Material for High Energy X-ray Detection"
Scientists at Argonne National Laboratory have developed a new material for detecting high energy X-ray scattering patterns. The material, cesium bromide perovskite crystals, demonstrated exceptional performance and endurance under ultra-high X-ray flux. It offers a cost-effective solution for synchrotron-based X-ray research, allowing for the study of dynamic systems in real time and providing valuable insight into materials. The team aims to scale up production and optimize crystal quality for further applications, including detecting gamma rays at extremely high energies.
