The Fast Neutron Spectrometer (FNS) is now aboard the International Space Station. Neutrons contribute to crew radiation exposure and must be measured to assess exposure levels. The FNS uses a new ...
Neural networks have emerged as powerful tools in the field of neutron spectrometry and dosimetry by offering non-linear, data‐driven approaches to reconstruct complex neutron energy spectra and ...
Launched on the fifth Orbital ATK resupply mission to the station, the Fast Neutron Spectrometer is designed to detect and measure the energy of neutrons, which are known to be specifically harmful to ...

A neutron spectrometer designed and built at the U.S. Department of Energy's Los Alamos National Laboratory is closing in on Mars aboard NASA's 2001 Mars Odyssey. A similar Los Alamos instrument ...
The University of Delaware has been tapped to lead the development of a world-class neutron spin echo spectrometer for the United States. This scientific instrument will advance U.S. research on ...
New technologies require scientists to develop brand-new materials, and also understand their characteristics and functions at microscopic and nanoscopic levels. Material structures are becoming ...
Neutrons aren’t a model of resilience when it comes to living a single life. Strip one from an atom’s nucleus, and it will quickly disintegrate into an electron and proton. But scientists can’t decide ...
