I've been focused on detecting nuclear terrorism at ports, in cargo containers, and I developed and built detectors that are extremely cheap and also very sensitive. My other big development is a system to produce medical isotopes that are injected into patients and used to diagnose and treat cancer.

Kids are smart: don't underestimate their bull detector. Contemporary kids have access to a lot of information, so don't even try to fool them. I have never been more nervous about my research than when writing for young adults because they pick up every single error.

Obama is the new kid with the weird name who people just sense is a little classier than his surroundings. He moved from a private school where he was class president and is now at the giant public high school with the metal detectors and the smoking lounge.

Security is a component of everyday life that one spending time in Washington, D.C., gets accustomed to. Metal detectors, police vehicle barriers and heavily-armed police officers become strangely commonplace after awhile.

American Politician

There is a lot of talk now about metal detectors and gun control. Both are good things. But they are no more a solution than forks and spoons are a solution to world hunger.

The 4th Concept is welcomed and encouraged. In the end, it's my hope and belief that the best ideas are what will be used in these detectors.

Always have two radar detectors. One to see if there are any cops around, and the second one to make sure there aren't any cops around.

American Musician

Younger viewers have a very strong detector for what's real and legit and what's phony or pandering.

Jesse Ventura

I have metal in my body, so every time I go to an airport, the metal detector goes off.

Michael Moore

Many criminals believe what they say is true; they could pass a lie detector test.

American Activist

Detectors often relate to safety, warning about dangers like smoke or carbon monoxide.

Safety Importance

Detectors are named for what they detect: smoke detectors for smoke, metal detectors for metal.

Specific Usage

Detectors usually signal their findings with lights, sounds, or digital messages.

Detection Signals

In electronics, detectors are considered technical and may require expertise to understand.

Technical Devices

Radio detectors have a special function, different from general safety detectors.

Specialized Function

Detectors in radio context are not easily seen but are key for the radio's operation.

Radio Context

Detectors in machines prevent damage by stopping operation when a problem is detected.

Machine Safety

These detectors are a proactive measure to protect both machines and operators.

Protective Action

 clearly the best chemical detector on the face of the planet. And you don't even think about it, do you? So this is a favorite quote of mine that takes us back to the ignorance and the idea of questions. I like to quote because I think dead people shouldn't be excluded from the conversation. And I also think it's important to realize that

 This light spreads through IceCube, hitting some of its detectors located over a mile beneath the surface. Photomultiplier tubes amplify the signal, which contains information about the charged particles' paths and energies. The data are beamed to astrophysicists around the world who look at the patterns of light

 what each of these particles is, things like photons and electrons. Now, the detectors take snapshots of about a billion of these collisions per second to find signs of extremely rare massive particles. To add to the difficulty, the particles we're looking for may be unstable

 But this happens on such a minute scale that we can't feel any of it. So we've built detectors that can feel it for us. That's what the LIGO detectors do. And they're not the only ones. There are gravitational wave detectors spread across the world.

 OK, so as a matter of fact, child number one is telling the truth, child number two is lying. Looks like many of you are terrible detectors of children's lies. Now, we have played similar kinds of games
