Development of Gd-Si-O dispersed 316L stainless steel for improving neutron shielding performance
Nuclear Materials and Energy, 2020 The low solubility of gadolinium (Gd) limits its application in iron-based neutron shielding alloys. In this study, a high content of Gd up to 7.87 wt.% was added into 316L stainless steel by mechanical alloying (MA) of Gd2O3 with 316L powder. Neutronics

Neutron lifetime puzzle and neutron–mirror neutron oscillation [PDF]
The European Physical Journal C, 2019 The discrepancy between the neutron lifetimes measured in the beam and trap experiments can be explained via the neutron $n$ conversion into mirror neutron $n'$, its dark partner from parallel mirror sector, provided that $n$ and $n'$ have a tiny mass splitting order $10^{-7}$ eV.

Modern Physics Letters A, 2012 The neutron is largely spherical and incompressible in atomic nuclei. These two properties are however challenged in the extreme pressure environment of a neutron star. Our variational computation within the Cornell model of Coulomb gauge QCD shows that the neutron (and also the Δ3/2 baryon) can adopt cubic symmetry at an energy cost of about 150 MeV.
