This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering Directorate (CFDA 47.041) provides $399,000 to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (SUNY) to develop a new generation of cost-effective, scalable, and stable radiation detectors with ultra-high detectivity. This is a joint effort between the University at Buffalo, University of Cambridge, and University of Oxford to address the challenge of engineering materials and manufacturing processes for high-performing, operationally stable radiation detectors. The goal is to create a new class of non-toxic bismuth-based detectors capable of measuring radiation three orders of magnitude lower than current commercial standards, with applications in medical imaging, nuclear security, and product inspection. The project runs from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2026.
