The Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS) and Infinite Potential Laboratories (IPL) have reached a historic milestone: producing the highest neutron flux ever generated using a laser.

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 ...

The University of Tennessee has turned on its own very tiny sun. This year, the Department of Nuclear Engineering (NE) powered on its first fusion-based neutron source. The Sodern Genie 16 is the ...

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 ...

Perovskite crystals are quickly gaining a name for themselves in the solar energy field, thanks to their impressive ability to convert photons into electricity. But scientists have now tweaked this ...

In many ways, neutrons are mysterious. They are everywhere, present in the nucleus of all elements. Yet they can be difficult to detect: unlike protons or electrons, they possess no charge, and when ...
