A study reveals magnetar flares could contribute to creating heavy elements like gold and uranium, adding to the previously ...

In neutron scattering experiments, instruments count the scattered neutrons as a function of wave vector Q, which depends on the scattering angle θ and wavelength λ. For elastic scattering – i.e., ...

"There are only a few viable yet rare scenarios in the cosmos where these elements can form, and all such locations need a copious amount of neutrons." Free neutrons have a half-life of only 15 ...

This reflection varies by frequency ... causes diffraction in the electromagnetic pulses responsible for the neutron star's singular zebra pattern. "This model is the first one capable of ...

Neutron star mergers are collisions between neutron stars, the collapsed cores of what were once massive supergiant stars. These mergers are known to generate gravitational waves, energy-carrying ...

From the first sign of problems in August, when the first broken cable smashed a hole in the reflector ... s High Flux Isotope reactor for neutron imaging, which is like an X-ray study but ...

Curved neutron Airy beams have been generated for the first time using a custom diffraction grating, enabling neutrons to follow parabolic paths, resist spreading, and self-heal after encountering ...
