BUFFALO, N.Y. — In a physics first, a team including scientists from the University at Buffalo and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has created a way to make beams of neutrons ...

The in-plane strength properties of a composite material, axial and transverse tension and compression and in-plane shear, are usually the first to be considered in design. However, ...

There are many applications for particle accelerators, even outside research facilities, but for the longest time they have been large, cumbersome machines, not to mention very expensive to operate.

If you shine a beam of light from a laser or flashlight, the beam will spread out over distance, becoming wider and less intense far from the source. That phenomenon is called diffraction, and it is ...

Scientists have created the first neutron 'Airy beam,' which has unusual capabilities that ordinary neutron beams do not. The achievement could enhance neutron-based techniques for investigating the ...
