Building a catalogue of amino acid neutron scattering interactions

Building a catalogue of amino acid neutron scattering interactions

by | Feb 26, 2024

Researchers have completed an in-depth characterisation of the thermal neutron cross sections of all twenty amino acids, developing a new model that can be easily applied to other organic materials. Each atom has a known value for its neutron scattering cross section,...

Investigations of radiation shielding heavy concrete

by | Aug 26, 2021

A unique combination of scanning electron microscopy to look at the atomic level details of heavy concrete, and its neutron shielding properties. Standard concrete continues to be the most utilised concrete, even when dense concrete might be considered a better, more...
