MIT Breakthrough: Discovery of Neutronic Molecules Clinging to Quantum Dots

Boston MA (SPX) Apr 04, 2024
Neutrons are subatomic particles that have no electric charge, unlike protons and electrons. That means that while the electromagnetic force is responsible for most of the interactions between radiation and materials, neutrons are essentially immune to that force. Instead, neutrons are held together inside an atom's nucleus solely by something called the strong force, one of the four funda
