Newsletter – Inside NMI3

Read our brochure with highlights from the 2009-2013 project.

We prepared an electronic newsletter nearly once per month with news about neutron and muon research experiments, events, interviews and much more.

We also post our news on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

_We're no longer producing NMI3 newsletters. To receive the latest news please visit neutronsources.org
