Neutron scattering research has improved the quality of many everyday items: Shatter-proof windshields, credit cards, pocket calculators, airplanes, compact discs, and magnetic storage tapes are just ...

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 ...

A team of researchers has used sound waves to induce nuclear fusion without the need for an external neutron source, according to a paper in the Jan. 27 issue of Physical Review Letters. The results ...

From the empty space in the linear accelerator building to the giant mound of dirt out back, it's clear that Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) has room to grow. The ...

to create the $1.4 billion Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge in Tennessee. Technically speaking, the $1.4 billion Spallation Neutron Source is the world’s most powerful accelerator-based source ...

Casper Rutjes and Ute Ebert trace how our understanding of thunderstorm physics has evolved in recent decades and explain how neutron measurements could produce fresh insights Follow the leader: the ...

Gravitational waves are back. And this time, they’re not traveling alone. In the first four detections of these astronomical phenomena, gravitational waves emanated from merging binary black holes—a ...

Astronomers have spent more than a decade watching a compact stellar remnant called P13 slip into near silence and then surge ...
