Inkjet droplets of radioactive material enable quick, precise testing at NIST
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology have developed a technique called cryogenic decay energy spectrometry capable of detecting single radioactive decay events from tiny material samples and simultaneously identifying the atoms involved. In time, the technology could replace characterization tasks that have taken months and could support rapid, accurate radiopharmaceutical development and used nuclear fuel recycling, according to an article published on July 8 by NIST.

As part of a research program on the reinforcement of mine structures by injection of polymeric resins, a neutron radiographic method has been developed to map the flow of polymer in shale rock. The method was applied in the examination of rock samples from laboratory and mine tests where polymers were injected in rock fissures. Thin (<5 mil) polymer veins and layers up to a depth of in. in rock specimens could be conveniently detected by this method.
