As the aerospace sector pursues propulsion systems that are cleaner, quieter, and more efficient, materials used in turbine components face increasingly demanding thermal and mechanical environments.

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 ...

Scientists have turned to neutron beams to help protect the US Navy’s nuclear-powered submarines, which operate under some of ...

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 ...
