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 ...

Gold and other heavy elements are born in some of the universe’s most violent events—but scientists still struggle to understand the nuclear steps that create them. Now, nuclear physicists have ...

Scientists analyzing a gravitational-wave signal have discovered that a neutron star and black hole spiraled together on an oval-shaped orbit just before merging. This unusual motion, detected in the ...

The catastrophic collision of a black hole and a neutron star sent ripples across the universe. New analysis of those ripples could upend a major theory about how these extreme pairs form.

Because the nuclei involved are extremely rare and short-lived, scientists usually rely on theoretical models rather than ...

Neutron scattering is a powerful analytical technique that utilizes neutrons to probe the structure, dynamics, and properties of materials at the atomic and nanoscale level. It provides unique ...

The objective of the course is to increase human capacity building in Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA), as well as to contribute to the overall sustainability of the technique. The e-learning tool is ...

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 ...
