For example, a helium atom has an atomic mass of ... there could be a particle with mass but no charge. He called it a neutron, and imagined it as a paired proton and electron.

Neutron stars can have a resounding impact around the universe. Scientists recently announced the first detection of gravitational waves created by two neutron stars smashing into each other ...

Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are nuclear fission reactors in which either the fuel and/or the coolant is a molten salt. Molten salt is salt which liquifies at elevated temperatures and can store ...

Starquakes and RSFs, on the other hand, provide direct measurements of neutron star vibrations. The crust-core interface mode (i-mode), for example, is particularly sensitive to the nuclear matter ...

The new Neutron rocket includes a "hippo" mouth fairing that deploys upper stages by spitting them out from inside. The private space company Rocket Lab is on track to launch the first of its new ...

While isotropy became a particular black mark for pinch-based approaches, all fusion technologies risk measuring false positives from beam-target neutrons. For example, a device known as a dense ...

Neutron reflectometry is a powerful analytical technique used to study the structure and composition of thin films, multilayers, and interfaces at the nanoscale. It involves directing a beam of ...
