A new detector at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility has successfully observed neutrons in configurations and at angles where they had previously remained ...

THE first of the two possible D—D reactions has long been used as a source of mono-energetic neutrons. To use it as a standard source of neutrons requires either the counting of all the neutrons, ...

Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for a process that had previously only been theorised. The study provides new ...

Researchers have employed Bayesian neural network approaches to evaluate the distributions of independent and cumulative ...

A neutron star accreting material from a companion star, producing periodic X-ray bursts. Inset shows how the new data affect the temperature dependence of the synthesis flow of chemical elements ...

A recent study published in Physical Review Letters examines how scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have successfully created key nuclear reactions ...

A new report has surfaced that has revealed that the infamous Chernobyl nuclear facility has seen a steady increase in neutron emissions, concerned scientists gravely. Back in 1986, the Chernobyl ...
