Researchers at Purdue University are developing a cell phone-based network of radiation detection sensors that would provide alerts to a command center regarding the basic location of a possible radiological source, particularly in urban areas. Researches tested the system in November, demonstrating that it is capable of detecting a weak radiation source 15 feet from the sensors. The system was developed by Andrew Longman, a consulting instrumentation scientist, who developed the software and then worked with Purdue researchers to integrate…
