Indian scientists help develop highly sensitive X-Ray Detector to study Black Holes and deep space research

Indian scientists from Ahmedabad’s Physical Research Laboratory teamed up with Stanford to build a new kind of X-ray detector, and it’s a big deal for space science. Their detector is incredibly sensitive and built to catch hard X-rays, the kind you get from extreme objects in space like black holes, neutron stars, and pulsars. By nailing this, they’re opening up a whole new way to see what’s happening in some of the toughest environments the un…

Scientists develop highly sensitive high-energy X-Ray detector to peer into extreme cosmic environments

Research Matters Staff Writer(s) Ahmedabad 16 Jun 2026 In a major step forward for decoding our universe, an international team of scientists from Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad, and Stanford University, USA, has successfully developed a highly sensitive X-ray detector that could help us investigate the universe’s most extreme environments. The breakthrough involves a one-dimensional position-sensitive detector designed for Compton X-ra…
