A new compact neutron generator could make life easier for scientists in fields as diverse as medicine, geology and condensed matter physics. Neutron scattering is widely used to probe the structure ...

Nuclear reactors are still the primary source for strong neutron beams to create isotopes for geologic dating, radiography and medicine, but researchers have now enlisted engineering students in ...

Neutron detection and analysis techniques form a critical toolkit in both fundamental research and practical applications across diverse fields. At the heart of these methods is the ability to probe ...

All of us probably know what neutrons are, or have at least heard of them back in physics class. Yet these little bundles of quarks are much more than just filler inside an atom’s nucleus. In addition ...

Scientists have developed a new configuration for neutron generators by turning from conventional cylindrical tubes to the flat geometry of computer chips. It was a figurative whack on the head that ...

November 26—Neutrons can penetrate deeply to find defects in large machine parts or tiny microdevices, elucidate the structure of biological systems and polymers, sense fluids in geological formations ...

JANESVILLE, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SHINE Medical Technologies, a Janesville, WI medical isotope production company, announced the completion of an important milestone validating the SHINE medical ...

The neutron irradiation system includes a negative ion, electrostatic, tandem accelerator-based neutron source and proven lithium target technology to generate a clinically optimal neutron spectrum ...

An interdisciplinary research team led by the Leibniz-Zentrum für Archäologie (LEIZA) has solved the mystery of a gold-plated pendant found in 2008 in a medieval refuse pit in the Old City section of ...

In an underground vault enclosed by six-foot concrete walls and accessed by a rolling, 25-ton concrete-and-steel door, University of California, Berkeley, students are making neutrons dance to a new ...
