First Neutron Pulse from SNS

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the prepare-the-proton-torpedos dept.

kebes writes "The $1.4 billion Spallation Neutron Source is nearing completion, and has produced its first neutron pulse. The SNS is a scientific instrument that generates beams of neutrons, which can be used to probe anything from minuscule samples to industrial materials. When fully operational, the facility is expected to host up to 2,000 international scientists annually."

  1. I'm a little more negative... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I don't want to take it anymore
    I'll just stay here locked behind the door
    Just no time to stop and get away
    'Cause I work so hard to make it everyday

    Whoo oooh
    Whoo oooh

    There's no money falling from the sky
    'Cause a man took my heart and robbed me blind
    Someone stole my brand new Chevrolet
    And the rent is due, I got no place to stay

    Whoo oooh
    Whoo oooh

    And it's hard to say
    Just how some things never change
    And it's hard to find
    Any strength to draw the line ....
