Researchers have gotten a glimpse inside an 800-year-old pendant, which was discovered in 2008 in a medieval refuse pit in the Old City section of Mainz, Germany. They did so not by cracking open the ...

Lithium batteries, recognized as vital energy storage solutions, have evolved into an essential component of contemporary living. Nevertheless, as modern industry advances rapidly, lithium batteries ...

In 2008, archaeologists excavating a medieval refuse pit in Mainz, Germany, discovered a heavily corroded pendant likely made in the late 12th century. But they were loath to open the pendant to find ...

An international research team has developed a new imaging technology. In the future this technology could not only improve the resolution of neutron measurements by many times but could also reduce ...

Neutron activation techniques have emerged as a pivotal tool in the production of medical radioisotopes and the enhancement of imaging technologies. By exposing target materials to neutrons, it is ...

From the analysis and testing of industrial materials to the production of radioisotopes, the global fleet of 235 research reactors across 53 countries is routinely leveraged by experts to exhibit ...

In 2008, archaeologists in Germany were thrilled to discover a mysterious gold-plated pendant in a medieval trash heap. They suspected it was a rare storage container for religious relics, called a ...

Neutron tomography can help scientists capture 3-D images of the insides of fossils and artifacts without damaging them. The technique can uncover hidden features within dense material that X-ray ...

The IAEA has available an introductory e-learning course on neutron imaging, directed at young specialists or beginners without extended experience of conducting neutron imaging independently, which ...

Nearly three years after the rapid unplanned disassembly of the Arecibo radio telescope, we finally have a culprit in the collapse: bad sockets. In case you somehow missed it, back in 2020 we started ...

So the Army has solicited interest from the nuclear community to find a means of affordably flinging high-flux beams of neutrons at these shells. In contrast to X-rays, neutrons zip through the walls ...
