Join us for the NSS/MIC/RTSD Conference
Tampa, Florida
October 26th – Nov 2nd, 2024
The Nuclear Science Symposium, the Medical Imaging Conference, and the Room-Temperature Semiconductor Detectors Symposium will be held jointly in the vibrant City of Tampa, FL, at the Tampa Convention Center a beautiful venue located in the heart of the city, right on the waterfront. The 2024 NSS/MIC/RTSD committee has been hard at work for a few months now to ensure that our attendees have the best possible experience.
President’s Report
I often compare the journey from being an IEEE/NPSS member to volunteering at the NPSS level and then experiencing the IEEE Technical Activities Board (TAB) meetings and activities to travelling through worlds of fractals: there is excitement at every level, and at each level the world expands, and more opportunities arise. Read more about the IEEE and NPSS initiatives, industry and climate change engagement, as well as a first assessment of emerging technologies relevant to NPSS and other news.
Best Paper Award
The IEEE Transactions On Nuclear Science Best Paper Award is an annual award recognizing the most significant paper published in the Transactions in a given year. The Award is sponsored by the IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society and the winning paper is selected according to its quantifiable usefulness to the community. This year the award is presented to Matthew Marinella for his paper “Radiation Effects in Advanced and Emerging Nonvolatile Memories.” The paper reviews the physics, fabrication, operational principles, and commercial status of scaled 2- and 3-D flash memory, new types of nonvolatile memory, and the effects of ionizing radiation on them.
