Nittan Europe, a manufacturer of conventional and addressable fire detection products, has launched an enhanced version of its EV-Firebeam Xtra loop-powered beam detector: the EV-Firebeam Xtra SCI.

The beam is off, but high energy physics research is very much on at one of the world’s premier particle physics labs. The requirements of social distancing have prompted scientists at the U.S.

Hadron therapy shows potential to improve the effectiveness of cancer radiotherapy. By exploiting the characteristic depth-dose distributions of hadrons in tissues (the Bragg peak), the technique ...

This circuit is presented as an alternative to the IR beam break detector featured in the June 2009 issue (Silicon Chip). In order to make it relatively insensitive to ambient light, it uses a ...
