Nuclear Further research is encouraged into sensor miniaturisation, which are graphene-based field effect transistors for radiation detection. These are small, inexpensive and low-powered devices that offer exceptional sensitivity to X-rays, gamma-rays, and neutrons (e.g. stack or personnel monitoring).
