Measuring temperature with neutrons Researchers from Osaka University, National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology, Hokkaido University, Japan Atomic Energy Agency, and Tokamak Energy developed a way to rapidly measure the temperature of electronic components inside a device using neutrons. The technique, called ‘neutron resonance absorption’ (NRA), examines neutrons being ab... » read more
