Some ten years ago, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) entered a new field of research by starting to generate ultracold neutrons (UCN) for use in fundamental research in physics. Now that the ...

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 ...

A collaboration between the groups of Professor Mónica H. Pérez-Temprano at the Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ) and Professor Anat Milo at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev has ...

Tackling supply shortages: As the supply chain for medical radioisotopes continues to struggle, researchers are developing new methods for producing technetium-99m, and exploring the potential of ...

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 ...

The UK Atomic Energy Authority's LIBRTI programme has announced a series of significant steps to advance fusion energy development. In addition to ordering a neutron source, it has also announced ...

So the Army has solicited interest from the nuclear community to find a means of affordably flinging high-flux beams of neutrons at these shells. In contrast to X-rays, neutrons zip through the walls ...
