Alpha Particle Spark Detector now available for purchase |
This detector uses a 8000 volt negatively-charged electrode and thin 3 mil copper wires connected to ground that are strung through the air approximately
0.1" above the electrode, to detect alpha particles.
When an alpha particle passes inbetween the wire and
the electrode it ionizes the air between. The high voltage potential between
the wires and the electrode causes an avalanche effect that we see as an
electrical discharge between the wires and the electrode.
This detector is only
sensitive to alpha (α) particles and will Not detect beta(β), x-ray or gamma(γ) radiation.

The human hand is an amazing machine that can pick up, move and place objects easily, but for a robot, this "gripping" mechanism is a vexing challenge. Opting for simple elegance, researchers from Cornell, the University of Chicago and iRobot Corp. have created a versatile gripper using everyday ground coffee and a latex party balloon, bypassing traditional designs based on the human hand and fingers.
