Total Ionizing Dose (TID) effects tests are required not only for silicon particle sensors developed in high energy physics experiments, but also for electronic devices and elements used in commercial, automotive and space applications. These tests and studies can be performed not only in facilities explicitly built for this mission, but also in medical or biological research facilities when...
Decommissioning involves activities such as the dismantling of power plants. Amongst the various technical challenges of decommissioning is to carry out accurate radioactivity measurements of a wide area of waste types. In this paper, we aim at measuring a low-activity uranium contamination on concrete surfaces, with varying enrichment encountered levels within a basic nuclear facility. In...
Highly sensitive malaria diagnosis methods that are satisfactory for point-of-care testing in high burden areas are essential for productive treatment of the disease. Microscopists often examine blood smears to diagnose disease and compute parasitemia. Hence, the need for highly trained experts to interpret the data. In this paper, machine learning algorithms for the detection of malaria...

International Masterclasses (IMC) enable high school students and teachers to work with particle physicists to analyze authentic data from contemporary experiments and experience being “physicists for a day”. The IMC program has a worldwide reach, including several universities and research...
Unizulu Science Centre (USC) in Richards Bay, South Africa, has been running face to face matric workshops for 25 years, presenting practicals and sharpening skills for over 200 000 matric science students. The 2020 lockdown presented a dilemma: matrics needed assistance more than ever, but
schools were closed and large gatherings impossible. Many SC’s around the world went online, making...
