Matin Durrani visits the National Institute of Standards and Technology in the US to find out how neutrons are being used to create a unique microscope that can see inside objects that other particles ...

In physics, the term “isotropy” means a system where the properties are the same in all directions. For fusion, neutron energy isotropy is an important measurement that analyzes the streams of ...

Nuclear reactors are still the primary source for strong neutron beams to create isotopes for geologic dating, radiography and medicine, but researchers have now enlisted engineering students in ...

Physicists have discovered a surprising new “Island of Inversion” in a place no one expected: among nuclei where the number of protons equals the number of neutrons. For decades, these strange regions ...

Neutrons are central to the operation of the atomic bomb. Fast neutrons are emitted in fission; for every fission, more than a single neutron leaks out of the active material. Measuring those neutrons ...
