Summer School Passes the Neutron Science Torch

Thirty-six students came to NIST’s Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) to cut their teeth on some of the world’s finest tools for probing the intricacies of small, valuable materials. The NCNR Summer School, now in its 15th year, provides undergraduate and graduate students from the United States and abroad with hands-on experiences with the NCNR’s sensing equipment, which harnesses cold, or slow, neutrons to illuminate the inner workings of objects just a few nanometers across.
