Nathan Boyle's research focuses on developing and testing radiation detection technologies, particularly 'tensioned metastable fluid detectors' (TMFDs) — devices that detect neutrons, gamma rays, and alpha particles from radioactive materials. His work applies these detectors to practical problems like nuclear security screening, radiation dosimetry (measuring radiation exposure), and monitoring nuclear materials such as uranium and plutonium.
