This is a source distribution of NCrystal, a library and associated tools which enables calculations for Monte Carlo simulations of thermal neutrons in crystals and other materials. Supported is a ...

The prevailing scientific view is that neutron star collisions created gold and other heavy elements, but one study has now pointed to another tantalizing theory behind the metals’ formation.

Diffraction gratings were inscribed on the surface of an acrylate sample utilizing a fiber femtosecond laser operating at a wavelength of 515 nm with a repetition rate of 40 MHz. The samples were ...

Neutron stars are some of the weirdest cosmic objects, and the greatest mysteries lie deep in their hearts. Neutron stars' surface gravities are so intense that the largest "mountains" are only a ...

Protein crystals used in X-ray crystallography to determine protein structure (representative image). For more than a century, scientists have relied on crystallography—analyzing X-ray ...
