Two veterans of the early atomic age earned the 1994 Nobel Prize in Physics, announced last week. They won the honor for their pioneering and independent contributions some four decades ago to the development of neutron-scattering techniques for studying solids and liquids.
As electrically neutral particles, neutrons can penetrate deeply into matter. Unlike X rays, they can readily evade a material's electrons to interact directly with atomic nuclei. These interactions produce changes in the direction and speed of the incoming neutrons. From these data, researchers can deduce the atomic structure of solids and determine the vibrations that typically shake these ...
