Bubble detectors have become a mature technology and are used as neutron dosemeters in a wide range of applications. At the SCK-CEN and Belgonucléaire they are used as official personal neutron dosemeter for the personnel. In the European Commission (EC) project of Evaluation of Individual Dosimetry in Mixed Neutron and Photon Radiation Fields (EVIDOS), a whole range of neutron dosemeters were irradiated in workplace fields in nuclear installations in Europe, including two types of bubble detectors. The responses of the bubble detectors are compared with the reference values determined using a directional spectrometer and a reference instrument to measure Hp(10).

Laser-deflection-based acoustic sensing is known for high bandwidth but low sensitivity. By embedding the sensing laser within a Sagnac interferometer and incorporating split-beam detection-originally developed for optical trapping microscopy-we demonstrate sensitive acoustic detection in air with a 2 MHz bandwidth. In a direct comparison, our method far-exceeds performance metrics of a state-of-the-art, commercially-available, high-bandwidth microphone.

The detection of high-flux gamma beams from laser plasma interactions is always hampered by signal pileup. In this study, a gamma threshold detector based on the bubble chamber is designed to detect high-flux gamma beams. Through simulations, it has been demonstrated that this detector can detect gamma rays with energies above 5 MeV through photonuclear reactions, even at fluences as high as 1011 photons/cm2.

An electrochemically mediated enzyme process for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) oxidation and biosensing has been developed in which the oxygen-dependent activities of wild-type NADH oxidase are replaced by electrochemical regeneration of the flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) cofactor in the active site. Consequently, the present bioelectrocatalysis does not rely on a continuous oxygen supply through bubbling air or pure oxygen in biosynthetic applications, which reduces enzyme stability. The coupled electrochemical and enzymatic catalysis is achieved through a combination of enzyme immobilization on the electrode and electrochemical oxidation of FADH in the active site mediated by the electron transfer mediator ferrocene carboxylic acid (FcCA).

A new micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatographic (MEKC) method has been developed and optimized for simultaneous quantitation of doxorubicin (Dox) and fullerenol (Frl) in rat serum. The separation was carried out in a capillary (48.5-40 cm to the detector - 50 µm id fused-silica capillary with bubble cell, 150 µm) at an applied voltage of 25 kV and temperature of 25 °C.

With the wide application of laser weapons, the requirements of laser protection technology are becoming more and more strict. Therefore, it is important to find ideal optical limiting (OL) materials to protect human eyes and detectors. In this work, the nonlinear optical responses of gold nanoparticles/porous carbon (Au NPs/PC) nanocomposites prepared by the reduction method were studied using the nanosecond Z-scan technique.
