In the world of nuclear physics, protons often take the spotlight. But now, for the first time, the neutron has stepped into ...

It involves directing a beam of neutrons onto a flat sample surface ... providing insights into their function and behavior in biological systems. Neutron reflectometry plays a crucial role in the ...

They ran a neutron production system for 1,250 hours using a 1.7-megawatt proton beam. This feat was accomplished using Spallation Neutron Source (SNS), a powerful research facility that uses ...

As well as promising novel cancer treatments, the neutron beams can be used to detect explosives and drugs, or for quality-testing materials, as Taskaev explains: “We recently irradiated samples ...

Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions ... reaction cross-section using a radioactive ion beam, in this case studying the 94Sr(α,n)97Zr reaction.
