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 ...

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 ...

A team of researchers from the Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has developed an ...

A free neutron outside a nucleus is not stable. It undergoes beta decay at a probability. Over time, the number of free neutrons decreases exponentially at a time constant, which is called the neutron ...

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 ...
