Neutron collisions are cosmic events of immense power that have the ability to forge some of the universe’s most precious elements, including gold. These astronomical phenomena provide a unique ...

An international research team has measured neutron form factors with previously unattained precision. All known atomic nuclei and therefore almost all visible matter consists of protons and neutrons, ...

All known atomic nuclei and therefore almost all visible matter consist of protons and neutrons, yet many of the properties of these omnipresent natural building blocks remain unknown. As an uncharged ...
