What is Small-Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS)? Small-Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) is a powerful analytical technique used to characterize the structure and properties of materials at the nanoscale.

Neutron diffraction and small-angle neutron scattering techniques can assess residual stress in and the microstructure of hydrocarbon pipelines. Forecasting tools based on predictive failure models ...

The small-angle neutron scattering instrument is 33 metres long when assembled and has been donated by the German Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin institute following the closure of the BER-II reactor in 2019 ...

A supercritical fluid refers to a state in which the temperature and pressure of a substance exceed its critical point, where no distinction exists between liquid and gas phases. Traditionally, it has ...

Physicists have demonstrated for the first time in a comprehensive study how different magnetic materials can be examined using neutron scattering techniques. Physicists from the University of ...

In this episode of the Physics World Weekly podcast we look at the science of three very different types of materials. Next up is the chemist Emily Draper, who develops and characterizes ...

Schematic of a grazing incidence small and wide angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS/GIWAXS) experimental setup showing the incident (αi) and the scattered angles along the horizontal (2θf) and vertical (αf ...

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), which is the causal agent of the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is a positive sense and highly infectious ribonucleic ...

To solve a long-standing puzzle about how long a neutron can “live” outside an atomic nucleus, physicists entertained a wild but testable theory positing the existence of a right-handed version of our ...
