In a physics first, a team including scientists from UB and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has created a way to make beams of neutrons travel in curves. These Airy beams ...
Scientists have turned to neutron beams to help protect the US Navy’s nuclear-powered submarines, which operate under some of ...
On 13 September 2025, 40 researchers came together at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) to discuss the neutron-lifetime ...
Oak Ridge National Laboratory is the world leader in providing intense neutron beams to instruments used by scientists. Bombarding materials with high concentrations of neutrons helps scientists ...
Neutron beam research and reactor technology constitute a vibrant field at the forefront of materials analysis, non‐destructive imaging and advanced reactor design. The utilisation of neutrons for ...
The Spallation Neutron Source at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory set a world record when its particle accelerator beam operating power reached 1.7 megawatts, substantially ...
Apart from flashbacks that the hit Netflix series Breaking Bad may have conjured up, most of us have likely happily forgotten what we learned in chemistry classes back in school. So here’s a quick ...
Scientists have created the first neutron 'Airy beam,' which has unusual capabilities that ordinary neutron beams do not. The achievement could enhance neutron-based techniques for investigating the ...
