The Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS) and Infinite Potential Laboratories (IPL) have reached a historic milestone: producing the highest neutron flux ever generated using a laser.

The Madison, Wisconsin-based startup Phoenix has scouted a team of nuclear elites for a new frontier: small reactors that can revolutionize medical imaging, munitions scanning, and even ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
