US researchers have quietly crossed a threshold in nuclear materials science, using intense neutron beams to peer inside ...

New tools unlock new discoveries in science. So when a new type of non-destructive technology becomes widely available, it's ...

ORNL Director Stephen Streiffer announced Jan. 9 that Taylor had been promoted from Neutron Scattering Division Director to his new role leading two world-leading neutron scattering facilities, the ...

Federal facilities that offer neutron beams for U.S. industry play an outsized role in bringing new goods to market more quickly and cost-effectively, according to an analysis of neutron science's ...

US scientists have gained a first-of-its-kind view inside advanced nuclear fuel by using neutron ...

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 ...

Neutron stars escape collapse into a black hole thanks to degeneracy pressure produced by their neutrons, which is able to fight the crushing force of gravity. What exactly lies at the heart of a ...

Astronomers have spotted a mysterious cosmic object that could be the lightest black hole or the heaviest neutron star ever discovered — or something completely new to science. The unknown object, ...

After more than 25 years of experience in condensed matter physics, as a student, researcher and in high-ranking executive roles at neutron scattering sources around the globe, Jon Taylor brings a ...

In a physics first, a team including scientists from UB and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has created a way to make beams of neutrons travel in curves. These Airy beams ...
