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 ...

A new compact neutron generator could make life easier for scientists in fields as diverse as medicine, geology and condensed matter physics. Neutron scattering is widely used to probe the structure ...

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 ...

Scientists have developed a new configuration for neutron generators by turning from conventional cylindrical tubes to the flat geometry of computer chips. It was a figurative whack on the head that ...

The Responsive Neutron Generator Product Deployment Center (say that quickly five times) at Sandia Labs in Albuquerque, NM has discovered a way to take the conventional cylindrical tubes out of the ...

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 ...

Scientists are unleashing the power of neutrons to improve understanding of everyday materials and tackle fundamental questions in physics. Apart from flashbacks that the hit Netflix series "Breaking ...
