Neutron Bombardment

Neutron bombardment is a process where neutrons, which are subatomic particles with no electric charge, are directed towards another substance, often to induce reactions. This technique is commonly used in nuclear physics and can lead to various outcomes, such as the creation of new elements or isotopes. Neutron bombardment is significant in nuclear reactors and medical applications, like cancer treatment, where it helps target and destroy tumor cells while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. It plays a crucial role in research and the development of nuclear technologies.
