ORNL’s new 3D printed collimator improves neutron scattering

Scientists at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have produced a neutron collimator using binder jet 3D printing.  Neutrons are often used to study energy and matter at the atomic scale through a method called neutron scattering. During this process, neutron collimators guide neutrons toward a detector and prevent stray […]
