#TuesdayTours : Can’t come to Oak Ridge Lab? We’ll bring the lab to you! Take a walk through the Klystron Gallery where you'll get up close with the klystrons (vertical red cylinders) that power 81 superconducting cavities inside the linear accelerator. #neutrons bit.ly/3suVxfH

Jens Dilling has been named associate laboratory director for Neutron Sciences. ornl.gov/news/dilling-n…

Usually a material that conducts electricity doesn't change into a material that's an insulator. But the quantum material lanthanum strontium nickel oxide has this strange property. Scientists CU Boulder 🦬 used Neutron Sciences to study why. #ScienceNeverSleeps energy.gov/science/bes/ar…

Spring is on its way!

“The research trend toward using smaller samples of materials in more complex environments results in a larger amount of neutrons that did not interact with the sample.” Fahima Islam, neutronics scientist and lead author.

#ICYMI #Neutrons Oak Ridge Lab proved expert villain from Bond movie did not cause the collapse of the famed Arecibo telescope after all. Check out the video here: bit.ly/44rdQzw and read the story here: bit.ly/3DVYrfT #Fridayvibes

We are thrilled to announce Jens Dilling as our new associate lab director!! The future is very bright. 💡

You might know ORNL is home to a research reactor, but did you know the #HighFluxIsotopeReactor produces one of the highest neutron fluxes, or number of neutrons per second, in the world despite its core being roughly 2 feet tall and 15 inches in diameter? bit.ly/3lZCRl2
