Neutron techniques nowadays are fundamental in materials science, biomedical, geology, energy, as well as archaeology. Neutron scattering, neutron diffraction, neutron imaging, neutron spectroscopy ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
