Hitomi-Nogami Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that builds sensors for seeing radiation, starting from the raw materials.
AboutAbout the lab
Developing sensors from raw materials to make advanced use of radiation.
The Hitomi-Nogami Lab studies sensors for using radiation in medicine and engineering.
People are surrounded by radiation from space, food, and the ground, but it cannot be perceived by the human senses.
To "see" radiation, the lab works on developing sensors that detect gamma rays in particular.
Centered on making things, which is fundamental to engineering, the lab grows semiconductor crystals with its own hands and finishes them into sensors.
Key terms
- Gamma rays
- Light with extremely high energy emitted by radioactive materials. It has strong penetrating power.
- Semiconductor
- A material whose electrical conductivity lies between that of conductors and insulators. This lab grows crystals and makes them into sensors.
- Radioisotope
- A type of element that emits radiation. The lab makes advanced use of the radiation it emits in fields such as medicine and engineering.

The lab develops radiation sensors in order to make advanced use of the radiation emitted from radioisotopes in a wide range of fields, including medicine, engineering, and physics. It focuses on gamma-ray sensors and starts from growing the semiconductor crystals used as their material.
*Illustrative imageDeveloping gamma-ray sensors
The lab works on developing gamma-ray sensors. Gamma rays have high penetrating power and are widely used in medicine and engineering, but they also pass through the sensor itself, so sensors must be made from materials with high absorption.
*Illustrative imageSensors made from semiconductor crystals
The lab grows semiconductor crystals itself and builds radiation sensors from them. It creates new, highly functional semiconductors with very high gamma-ray absorption and applies them to sensors.
