For decades, scientists sought a way to apply the outstanding analytical capabilities of neutrons to materials under pressures approaching those surrounding the Earth's core. These extreme pressures ...

Neutron diffraction and small-angle neutron scattering techniques can assess residual stress in and the microstructure of hydrocarbon pipelines. Forecasting tools based on predictive failure models ...

Scientists have created the first neutron 'Airy beam,' which has unusual capabilities that ordinary neutron beams do not. The achievement could enhance neutron-based techniques for investigating the ...

Neutron scattering is a powerful analytical technique that utilizes neutrons to probe the structure, dynamics, and properties of materials at the atomic and nanoscale level. It provides unique ...

Empa’s Proton highway project uses neutron crystallography and lattice dynamics to unlock faster proton transport in ceramic ...

In a physics first, a team including scientists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has created a way to make beams of neutrons travel in curves. These Airy beams (named for ...
