Nickel-cobalt (Ni-Co)-based superalloys are leading candidates for advanced turbine disks; however, their strength relies heavily on how dislocations ...

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 ...

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

The pressure hulls of U.S. Navy nuclear submarines consist of many steel plates joined by precision manual or robotic welding ...

In the 1940s, researchers discovered that neutrons could serve as tools for measuring nuclear properties and determining the atomic and magnetic structures of materials. The first nuclear reactors, ...

Airy beam: When an ordinary beam of neutrons strikes the team’s silicon grating, the millions of scored lines on the grating convert the neutrons into an Airy beam with a wavefront that travels along ...
