Neutrons zero in on the elusive magnetic Majorana fermion
Posted in: 2017 Highlights, Featured Highlights, Scientific Highlights,
From Oak Ridge National Laboratory: Neutron scattering has revealed in unprecedented detail new insights into the exotic magnetic behavior of a material that, with a fuller understanding, could pave the way for quantum calculations far beyond the limits of the ones and zeros of a computer’s binary code. A research team led by the Department

Dr. Emil Hallin, with the University of Saskatchewan’s Global Institute of Food Security (GIFS), and Dr. Paul Arnison, a biotechnology consultant, came to Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) with the goal

This letter was submitted to Paul Langan, Associate Laboratory Director for Neutron Sciences at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), on May 10th, 2017. The letter endorses ORNL’s proposal to the Department of Energy, to increase the neutron flux at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS), and argues that the competitiveness in materials research depends on the
