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

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 ...

Neutron stars are what remain after giant stars collapse, leaving behind a body so dense that its core crushes protons and neutrons into a tightly packed soup. These objects cool very slowly over ...

OAK RIDGE, Oct. 9, 2008 -- New analytical tools coming on line at the Spallation Neutron Source, the Department of Energy's state-of-the-art neutron science facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, ...

At the end of a star's life, nuclear fusion ceases, and the resulting pressure is no longer sufficient to counteract the gravitational force. This collapse can lead to the formation of neutron stars, ...
