SANDALS diffractometer sheds light on the enigma of Martian channel formation
In collaboration with ISIS Neutron and Muon Source, a team led by Dr Lorna Dougan at the University of Leeds have used neutron diffraction to study the structure of a mimetic of Martian water known as magnesium perchlorate aqueous solution.
One small step for sensors one giant leap for the hydrogen economy?
Scientists have used neutrons to help develop an extremely sensitive hydrogen sensor that can detect even the smallest of leaks. This discovery brings us one step closer to safely utilising hydrogen as a low carbon emission energy carrier.
