Kilonova explosions from neutron star collisions may damage atmospheres and threaten life if nearby, according to a new study ...

Huo Zhipeng and his student Lu Yidong from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of Chinese Academy of Sciences have created a new type of composite material for shielding against neutron and gamma ...

Data of both kinds are used for simulations of nuclear reactors, production of nuclear isotopes, radiation damage in materials, neutron shielding, radiation therapy and many other applications. Atomic ...

For example, adding materials like boron carbide boosts its ability to block neutrons, while heavy aggregates like barite and magnetite help shield against photons (a form of gamma radiation).

Russia), all in ENDF format and related data processing computer codes for data preparation for neutron transport and shielding calculations for nuclear reactors and many other applications.
