Corn plants as temporary acoustic barrier to limit the effects of noise pollution

, 2021
Corn is a cereal imported into Europe from the Americas. It is used for human and animal feed, but there are also industrial uses such as the production of ethanol, of fuel for heating homes, or the production of starch. Corn grows in the summer in areas

Impact of Hydrogen Incorporation on Electronic and Magnetic Structure of X2CrNi18‐9 Stainless Steel

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Hydrogen uptake in austenitic stainless steel alters both its electronic and magnetic structure. Seebeck measurements reveal hydrogen‐induced shifts in the electronic density of states, while neutron scattering uncovers nanoscale inhomogeneities that grow upon hydrogen incorporation, with the most pronounced effect observed in the PBF as‐built state ...

GeS as an Emerging OTS Material: Atomic Structure and Modeling of ON/OFF Switching

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The structural puzzle of glassy GeS, an advanced memory‐selector material, has finally been disentangled, revealing a patchwork of mixed tetrahedral and trigonal species. Under a high electric field, over‐ and under‐coordinated Ge and S defects, together with three‐membered rings, form an interconnected network associated with localized and extended ...

Neutron Interferometry at the National Institute of Standards and Technology

Advances in High Energy Physics, 2015
Neutron interferometry has proved to be a very precise technique for measuring the quantum mechanical phase of a neutron caused by a potential energy difference between two spatially separated neutron paths inside interferometer.

Investigation of the two-phase flow in a boiling water reactor using neutron-noise technique

, 1979
In this paper, the fluctuations of the neutron flux (“neutron noise”) of the Mühleberg BWR are investigated. Above 2 Hz, the noise measured by the in-core neutron detectors is driven exclusively by local fluctuations of the void fraction.

Deterministic and stochastic methods for sensitivity analysis of neutron noise [PDF]

, 2022
Neutron noise calculated from the neutron noise equation in the frequency domain is governed by the cross section and kinetic parameters. Deterministic and stochastic methods to obtain the sensitivity coefficient of neutron noise with respect to the ...

Robotics in Ionizing Radiation Environments: Vulnerabilities, Hardening, and Future Directions

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Radiation exposure causes cumulative degradation in robotic sensors, actuators, and electronic logic, often leading to undetected failures. This study maps component vulnerabilities, evaluates hardening and shielding strategies, and identifies testing gaps that must be addressed to enable next‐generation radiation‐tolerant robotic systems.
