neutron imaging

Neutron imaging is a non-destructive technique used to visualize the internal structures of materials by using neutrons. Neutrons are uncharged particles that can penetrate matter more deeply than X-rays, making them useful for examining dense materials like metals or complex objects. When neutrons interact with atomic nuclei, they create images based on the distribution of different elements. This technique is valuable in various fields, including engineering, archaeology, and materials science, as it allows experts to inspect components or artifacts without causing damage, revealing details about composition, defects, or internal features.
