Neutron detection is a critical area of research, particularly in fields such as nuclear security, medical imaging, and radiation safety. Scintillation techniques, which involve the use of ...

Recent studies have introduced several novel eutectic scintillators, each utilizing different combinations of materials to optimize neutron detection capabilities. For instance, the development of ...

An international team of scientists has modeled the formation and evolution of the strongest magnetic fields in the universe.

In physics, the term "isotropy" means a system where the properties are the same in all directions. For fusion, neutron ...

These materials are known for their low leakage current and enhanced sensitivity. When coupled with specialized neutron detection materials, the team developed a thermal neutron detector made from ...

U.S. District Judge Loren L. AliKhan extended an order she issued last week that paused a sweeping plan to freeze potentially trillions in federal spending. While the memo outlining it has since been ...

Core package to analyze gravitational-wave data, find signals, and study their parameters. This package was used in the first direct detection of gravitational waves (GW150914), and is used in the ...

One planned application, for example, is to develop more sensitive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners, used in cancer detection. Marshalling neutrons, however, is no easy task; it requires ...
