Neutron Vision
focus.aps.org — Superman can't see through lead with his x-ray vision, but if he could see with neutrons he'd do better. Neutrons can penetrate dense materials, and in the 2 June PRL, researchers describe a simple, 3-D imaging technique that does not require a high-quality neutron beam.

- Insolence, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Oh right, exactly! I wasn't sure how to spy on the girls in the next dorm, but now... the possiblities are endless!
- lotusleaf, on 10/12/2007, -7/+4KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!
- Urusai, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6One little problem...aren't neutrons what they shoot at atoms to cause them to fission?
- littlebluedevil, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3It won't be for medical diagnostic imagery anytime soon ;)
- gh02t, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3The neutrons used are lower energy than what can cause fission.
- kurtu5, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Are you people ***** retarded? Why the ***** would you mod down a valid question and its correct answer?
Digg moderation sucks.
- craftyguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Hmm, so if these neutrons were to allow us to see THROUGH lead, why can't we see the titanium rod directly behind the lead wire towards the front?
- endyminion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2because it's a 3D model... You're not looking at what the neutron beam sees, you're looking at the 3D model of the whole subject, I believe.
- gh02t, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0I've worked with one of these... the images they form are incredible. The coolest I ever saw was an internal-combustion engine, while it was running. You can see the parts moving and all the fluids flowing inside, its amazing.
- kurtu5, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Mod him down! Dumb asses.
