An experiment more than 10 years in the making has delivered its first glimpse of the hurricane of particles whirring inside subatomic particles called neutrons, laying the groundwork to solve a ...

One of the four missions at DOE’s High Flux Isotope Reactor is neutron scattering, a research technique used to study matter at the atomic scale. These neutrons are produced at HFIR through fission, ...

Incorporated into every aspect of everyday life, the neutron is a fundamental particle of nature. Now, a research collaboration led by Los Alamos National Laboratory has improved the precision of free ...

Known as “islands of inversion,” these odd regions are found among a sea of normal nuclei. Now, a new island may have been ...

Nucleons, which include protons and neutrons, are the composite particles that make up atomic nuclei. While these particles have been widely studied in the past, their internal structure has not yet ...
