In a physics first, a team including scientists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has created a ...

Quasicrystals are intriguing materials with long-range atomic order that lack periodicity. It has been a longstanding question whether antiferromagnetism, while commonly found in regular crystals, is ...

Researchers provide the first neutron diffraction proof of antiferromagnetism in an icosahedral quasicrystal, opening new ...

When an ordinary beam of neutrons strikes the team's silicon grating, the millions of scored lines on the grating convert the neutrons into an Airy ...

The study presents the first neutron diffraction evidence of antiferromagnetism occurring in a real QC, marking a significant step forward in QC research.

Neutron stars can have a resounding impact around the universe. Scientists recently announced the first detection of gravitational waves created by two neutron stars smashing into each other ...

Neutron activation analysis is a method for the qualitative and quantitative determination of elements based on the measurement of characteristic radiation from radionuclides formed by irradiating ...
