There are a surprising number of experiments an amateur nuclear physicist can perform, from making a Geiger counter to fusing hydrogen atoms in a fusor. One project which we haven’t seen before is a ...

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 ...

Neutron Resonance Transmission Analysis (NRTA) is a highly sensitive, non-destructive technique for nuclear material characterisation, but its application has been limited by its reliance on large, ...

All of us probably know what neutrons are, or have at least heard of them back in physics class. Yet these little bundles of quarks are much more than just filler inside an atom’s nucleus. In addition ...

Neutron-induced reactions play a crucial role in various research fields, from exploring the origins of elements in our universe 1 to understanding the core principles of nuclear physics 2,3. These ...
