Neutron detection technologies have evolved markedly in recent years, driven by the imperative for enhanced safety in nuclear energy, improved homeland security measures, and advances in experimental ...

Neutron detection and analysis techniques form a critical toolkit in both fundamental research and practical applications across diverse fields. At the heart of these methods is the ability to probe ...

As the spallation neutron beam passes through the TRISO particle, some neutrons are absorbed by the uranium while most are scattered away. A neutron area detector collects the scattered neutrons, ...

To accurately capture and analyze nuclear signals in high-flux environments, researchers have implemented a sophisticated digital processing pipeline on a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The ...

The University of Tennessee has turned on its own very tiny sun. This year, the Department of Nuclear Engineering (NE) powered on its first fusion-based neutron source. The Sodern Genie 16 is the ...

Researchers co-led a study that will improve the detection of gravitational waves--ripples in space and time. Researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities College of Science and Engineering ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...
