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 ...

Diffractometers have been around for a long time and are used to analyze various types of materials and provide information regarding their structure. While there are a few different types, we’re ...

Residual stresses often remain in engineering components as a result of manufacturing processes such as welding and forging. Knowledge of the residual stress state is therefore an essential ingredient ...

As the world grapples with the devastating effects of COVID-19, US national laboratories are mobilizing to use their facilities and resources to fight the deadly virus that causes the disease. At the ...

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 ...

Structural biology is a field of science that uses a variety of techniques to determine the 3D structures of biomolecules such as proteins, nucleic acids and their complexes. These techniques allow ...

Lithium is a critical resource for the transition to green technologies, in particular for battery production. Commercially sourced lithium originates from both natural brines (e.g. LiCl) and mineral ...
