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 ...

Neutron stars are ultra-dense star remnants made up primarily of nucleons (i.e., protons and neutrons). Over the course of ...

Neutron activation analysis is a cutting-edge analytical technique that identifies elements and determines their concentration in numerous different applications. With accurate, fast gamma ...

Neutron stars are what remain after giant stars collapse, leaving behind a body so ...

Improved neutron mirrors can increase the efficiency of material analysis in neutron sources such as the ESS, which is being built outside Lund, Sweden. The improved mirror has been developed by ...

UT researchers have made rare measurements of exotic nuclear decay that reshape how scientists think heavy elements form in extreme cosmic events. You can’t have gold without the decay of an atomic ...

To solve a long-standing puzzle about how long a neutron can 'live' outside an atomic nucleus, physicists entertained a wild but testable theory positing the existence of a right-handed version of our ...

Neutron analysis at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory is helping researchers better understand a key enzyme found in a bacterium known to cause stomach cancer. Understanding the ...
