Getting snapshots of systems and processes at precise time points is important to research and development in many fields, including biology, materials science, and engineering. Firing a neutron beam ...

An international research team at the Research Neutron Source Heinz Maier-Leibnitz (FRM II) of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a new imaging technology. In the future this ...

Seeking to expand the nation's capability to detect and identify materials that are not easily visualized by conventional imaging technologies, DARPA today released an announcement inviting proposals ...

The Madison, Wisconsin-based startup Phoenix has scouted a team of nuclear elites for a new frontier: small reactors that can revolutionize medical imaging, munitions scanning, and even ...

Nuclear reactors are still the primary source for strong neutron beams to create isotopes for geologic dating, radiography and medicine, but researchers have now enlisted engineering students in ...

Neutron imaging is a non-destructive technique for analysing the structure of a sample. The basic principle is similar to that of X ray radiography: a beam of neutrons passes through the sample and is ...

Radioactive materials and other tracers are often utilized for non-destructive analysis techniques, as these materials possess the ability to detect hidden flaws through the use of short wavelength ...
