A new study presents a method to record the temperature of materials with exceptional temporal resolution, using a Doppler broadening effect in neutron resonance absorption. Using a high-powered laser ...

Osaka, Japan – Scientists from the Institute of Laser Engineering at Osaka University determined the mechanism and functional form for the yield of neutrons from a laser-driven source, and used it to ...

Insight-HXMT’s discovery of the fundamental electron cyclotron absorption line near 146 keV for the first Galactic ultraluminous X-ray pulsar Swift J 0243.6+6124. Neutron stars have the strongest ...

When nuclear fission occurs inside of a nuclear reactor, neutrons are produced. These neutrons then, to state it simply, either react with the fuel in the reactor or escape from the reactor. These two ...

With NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, astronomers have detected features that may be the first direct evidence of the effect of gravity on radiation from a neutron star. This finding, if confirmed, ...

Scientists have detected an odd feature in the X-ray emissions coming from a pulsar, a find that could shed light on the composition of these amazingly dense, fast-spinning stars, a new study reports.

Our modern world is full of temperature-sensitive electronic devices, and researchers led by Osaka University have developed a faster, highly accurate way to measure the temperatures of such devices ...
