Safer scintillator Researchers at King's College London are developing a water-based scintillator made from quantum dots for neutrino detection. The experimental setup shows a sample of quantum dots in water solution placed in front of a photomultiplier tube. (Courtesy: King's College London)
Neutrino detectors contain up to tens of thousands of tonnes of liquid scintillator that emits a fla
