Physics World Focus on Neutron Science 2017

Physics World Focus on Neutron Science 2017

In this Physics World Focus learn how industrial scientists and engineers are taking a significant interest in neutron-based measurements. Neutron data are making a difference in industries as varied as microelectronics, steel manufacturing and even dairy products. High-level efforts to make neutron data FAIR – findable, accessible, inter-operable and re-useable – offer significant benefits for researchers seeking to build on previous work. However, a blanket open-data requirement would be less popular in industry, with fears over commercial confidentiality potentially outweighing the benefits of obtaining the data in the first place.
