Using a combination of transmission electron microscopy, grazing-incidence diffraction, neutron and X-ray reflectometry, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, we characterize the nanocomposite films ...

We don't really know, but probably some truly bizarre physics. Neutron stars are some of the weirdest cosmic objects, and the greatest mysteries lie deep in their hearts. Neutron stars are the ...

Look out SpaceX… Rocket Lab’s (NASDAQ:RKLB) Launch Services division is nipping at your heels to get in on the lucrative satellite launch business with its Neutron rocket, designed to compete ...

Scientists have built the first-ever thorium reactor. Thorium is both more easily accessible and less dangerous than uranium—the most common fission fuel. The system also uses molten salt ...

High-energy photons produced deep in gamma-ray burst jets emerging from a collapsed star could dissolve the outer stellar layers into free neutrons, causing a series of physical processes that results ...

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 ...

It was further complemented by optical reflectometry to localize those faults. For the purpose of fiber-optic sensing, which focuses on monitoring of ambient environment, more advanced techniques were ...

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 ...
