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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

Physicists in the US have generated nuclear fusion in a simple, table-top device operating at room temperature. The device, built by Brian Naranjo, Jim Gimzewski and Seth Putterman at the University ...

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 ...

The first production accelerator has been delivered to Shine Medical Technologies' isotope production campus in Janesville, Wisconsin. Shine CEO Greg Piefer with parts of the first production unit ...

JANESVILLE, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SHINE Medical Technologies, a Janesville, WI medical isotope production company, announced the completion of an important milestone validating the SHINE medical ...

An interdisciplinary research team led by the Leibniz-Zentrum für Archäologie (LEIZA) has solved the mystery of a gold-plated pendant found in 2008 in a medieval refuse pit in the Old City section of ...
