Caption

Sandia researchers Patrick Doty, Patrick Feng, and Mark Allendorf (L to R) have created a new type of scintillator using metal organic framework or plastic scintillator hosts combined with heavy metal dopants, shown in Doty's hand. This material enables detection of neutrons using spectral- or pulse-shape discrimination techniques that could transform radiation detection.
