Neutron diffraction and small-angle neutron scattering techniques can assess residual stress in and the microstructure of hydrocarbon pipelines. Neutron diffraction and small-angle neutron scattering ...

Matin Durrani visits the National Institute of Standards and Technology in the US to find out how neutrons are being used to create a unique microscope that can see inside objects that other particles ...

Researchers at MIT, working with partners at NASA, have developed a new concept for a microscope that would use neutrons — subatomic particles with no electrical charge — instead of beams of light or ...

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 ...

Schematic revealing strain-dependent mechanism transitions (shearing to Orowan looping) across different grains and the resulting evolution of dislocation types and configurations. As the aerospace ...

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

What is the Diffraction Limit? The diffraction limit is a fundamental barrier in optical microscopy that sets the minimum size of features that can be resolved using conventional light microscopes. It ...
