Neutron detection technologies have evolved markedly in recent years, driven by the imperative for enhanced safety in nuclear energy, improved homeland security measures, and advances in experimental ...

The detection of neutrons and the utilisation of scintillation techniques stand at the forefront of advances in nuclear science, security, and medical imaging. Neutrons, with their weak interaction ...

UT Austin scientists were involved in detecting two events, occurring 10 days apart in January 2020, in which black holes and neutron stars collided. For the first time, researchers have confirmed the ...

Researchers co-led a study that will improve the detection of gravitational waves--ripples in space and time. Researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities College of Science and Engineering ...

HOUSTON – It’s no secret that radiation is a great danger to astronauts. Most of the research to date concerns the effects of galactic cosmic rays, but what happens to those particles when they pass ...

Neutron stars are ultra-dense remnants of massive stars that collapsed after supernova explosions and are made up mostly of subatomic particles with no electric charge (i.e., neutrons). When two ...

The University of Tennessee has turned on its own very tiny sun. This year, the Department of Nuclear Engineering (NE) powered on its first fusion-based neutron source. The Sodern Genie 16 is the ...

In the world of nuclear physics, protons often take the spotlight. But now, for the first time, the neutron has stepped into it. A recent experiment using the U.S. Department of Energy’s Jefferson Lab ...

The Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO), will launch its new radiation detection technology, the CORIS360 Gamma Neutron ...
