In a move that could have huge implications for national security, researchers have created a very sensitive and tiny detector that is capable of detecting radiation from various sources at room temperature. The detector is eight to nine orders of magnitude --100 million to as high as 1 billion -- times faster than the existing technology, and a Texas A&M University at Galveston professor is a key player in the discovery.
