Scientific Highlights

Neutrons show that 260 million years ago the Pristerodon could already hear airborne sound

Neutron tomography experiments revealed that forerunners of mammals were already able to hear airborne sound thanks to an eardrum at the lower jaw, an impedance matching middle ear and a small cochlea.


NMI3 Joint Research Activities

How to probe tiny samples? Insights into the production of micron-sized cold neutron beams

The NMI3 Imaging JRA discusses how to produce smaller beams. They conclude that reflective optics offers the most versatile way to produce them.
