In a physics first, a team including scientists from UB and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has created a way to make beams of neutrons travel in curves. These Airy beams ...

Apart from flashbacks that the hit Netflix series Breaking Bad may have conjured up, most of us have likely happily forgotten what we learned in chemistry classes back in school. So here’s a quick ...

Oak Ridge National Laboratory is the world leader in providing intense neutron beams to instruments used by scientists. Bombarding materials with high concentrations of neutrons helps scientists ...

Neutron beam research and reactor technology constitute a vibrant field at the forefront of materials analysis, non‐destructive imaging and advanced reactor design. The utilisation of neutrons for ...

The particle accelerator beam operating power of the Spallation Neutron Source at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory hit 1.7 megawatts, breaking the previous record by a wide ...

Scientists have created the first neutron 'Airy beam,' which has unusual capabilities that ordinary neutron beams do not. The achievement could enhance neutron-based techniques for investigating the ...
