World’s most powerful neutron source unlocks crystals 100x smaller with 2.8 MW boost
SMRTR summary
The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory has been upgraded to run at 2.8 megawatts — twice its original power — making it the world's most powerful pulsed proton accelerator. The boost allows scientists to study crystals 100 times smaller than before, complete experiments in hours instead of weeks, and capture real-time atomic changes in materials, advancing research in batteries, quantum materials, and pharmaceuticals.
