Neutron imaging is a non-destructive technique for analysing the structure of a sample. The basic principle is similar to that of X ray radiography: a beam of neutrons passes through the sample and is ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at MIT, working with partners at NASA, have developed a new concept for a microscope that would use neutrons — subatomic particles with no electrical charge — instead of beams of light or ...

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 ...

Since they are acknowledged as critical energy storage devices, lithium batteries have become a necessary part of modern life. However, with the speed at which modern industry is developing, lithium ...

Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) with colleagues elsewhere have employed neutron imaging and a reconstruction algorithm to reveal for the first time the 3D ...

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 ...
