Elusive carbonic acid: it really exists!
The existence of carbonic acid has long been the subject of debate: theoretically real, but practically impossible to detect.
Neutrons expose the insides of an antique pendant
Thanks to the non-destructive examinations using neutrons, researchers identified miniscule bone fragments inside the object, presumably religious relics.
Grimy windows could be harbouring toxic pollutants
Dirty windows can harbour potentially harmful pollutants under protective films of fatty acids from cooking emissions – and these can hang around over long periods of time.
Understanding the feasibility of ‘magnetic graphene’
Only by using neutron instruments from across the globe, have researchers been able to characterise the magnetism of a graphene-like material.
Optimising car brakes
Researchers at PSI have joined forces with employees of the technology transfer centre, ANAXAM, and the industrial partner Audi Sport to shed light on a potential sticking point: they have used neutrons to examine a brake calliper in action and reveal ways of optimising it.
Graphene’s magic in a magnet
Using advanced neutron scattering, researchers have probed the magnetic band structures in a crystal of chromium tribromide, revealing a complex magnetic topology.
First neutrons from next generation source in Jülich
Accelerator-driven, low-energy compact neutron sources are considered the next generation of neutron source for a wide range of applications. On 12 December 2022, researchers from the Jülich Centre for Neutron Science (JCNS) at Forschungszentrum Jülich achieved a significant breakthrough, delivering first neutrons with a powerful new target/moderator technology.
LENS Workshop on Laser-driven Neutron Sources
The goal of this workshop is to discuss the state-of-the-art and future perspectives of laser driven neutron sources.
Remembering Professor Michael Steiner
