Bricks will now be able to recognize gamma rays

Experts have made a kind of camera out of the bricks in the walls of the building to be able to find

out the complete details of the radiation exposure in it. This technology has been developed by the scientists of North Carolina State University, in which The brilliance of the bricks has been enhanced visually. Because bomb-grade plutonium interacts with a variety of minerals, its historical record is compiled when this radioactive substance is brought close to a wall or brick.

According to experts, the construction material works exactly like a 3D shape and can detect traces of gamma rays. Some types of minerals, such as quartz and feldspargama, act on the rays and their electrons are trapped in these minerals. But when they are activated, trapped electrons come out, which can be measured on a device called a photo multiplier. In this way, not only in the past but also in the present, the presence of any radioactive substance in the area can be detected.
