A new compact neutron generator could make life easier for scientists in fields as diverse as medicine, geology and condensed matter physics. Neutron scattering is widely used to probe the structure ...

The Responsive Neutron Generator Product Deployment Center (say that quickly five times) at Sandia Labs in Albuquerque, NM has discovered a way to take the conventional cylindrical tubes out of the ...

All of us probably know what neutrons are, or have at least heard of them back in physics class. Yet these little bundles of quarks are much more than just filler inside an atom’s nucleus. In addition ...

Physicists in the US have generated nuclear fusion in a simple, table-top device operating at room temperature. The device, built by Brian Naranjo, Jim Gimzewski and Seth Putterman at the University ...

Scientists have developed a new configuration for neutron generators by turning from conventional cylindrical tubes to the flat geometry of computer chips. It was a figurative whack on the head that ...
