He developed an ML-based tool to discriminate fake signals from real neutrons, and this was vital to achieve our final results,” Niccolai explained. (Adam Hobart is the lead researcher ...

A new Zap research paper, published last week in Nuclear Fusion, details neutron isotropy measurements from the FuZE device ...

The “lead” of a pencil is actually made of a substance called graphite which is made of carbon atoms. The picture shows a close-up of one carbon atom. A hydrogen atom has one proton as the nucleus and ...

Physicists know from previous experiments that what happens at the nuclear scale to protons and neutrons also affects their ...

However, as the number of protons increases, more neutrons are needed to keep the nucleus stable. For example lead (lead-206) has 82 protons and has 124 neutrons. If the nucleus has too few ...

In physics, the term "isotropy" means a system where the properties are the same in all directions. For fusion, neutron energy isotropy is an ...

Neutrons are subatomic particles that have no ... held there just by the strong force. The new finding may lead to useful new tools for probing the basic properties of materials at the quantum ...

Our investigations lead to the result that the discrepancies can in most cases be explained through the presence of small amounts of impurities showing a very strong activity, like dysprosium in ...
