“You bet, I’m really excited about this flyby,” said William C. Feldman, a Senior Scientist at the Tucson-based Planetary Science Institute and Cognizant Co-Investigator for the Neutron Spectrometer ...

Neutron spectrometry is a vital methodology for characterising the energy distribution and fluence of neutrons in diverse radiation environments. Techniques range from the classical Bonner Sphere ...

Researchers at the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and their collaborators have measured the masses of several key nuclei with high precision by employing ...

On Dec. 31, 2007, the Sun awoke from the relatively quiescent period between Solar Cycles 23 and 24 to produce a solar flare that spewed high-energy neutrons into interplanetary space. The Neutron ...

The high-resolution neutron spectrometer HRNS. The yellow structural elements surround the TPR system designed at the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Cracow. The ...

As space agencies around the world prepare for a historic return to the moon, one of the greatest dangers confronting future astronauts remains ...

There are a surprising number of experiments an amateur nuclear physicist can perform, from making a Geiger counter to fusing hydrogen atoms in a fusor. One project which we haven’t seen before is a ...

Precision measurements of calcium atoms revealed an unexpected pattern that cannot be explained by the simplest atomic ...

Researchers have found new information about the strength of the so-called magic neutron number 50 shell closure in the silver isotope chain. The new more detailed information on the properties of the ...
