Neutron Scattering Instrument Represents A New Dawn For AI-powered Atomic-scale 3D Imaging

Neutron scattering instrument represents a new dawn for AI-powered atomic-scale 3D imaging

The Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory added a new neutron scattering instrument to its powerhouse of discovery at the Spallation Neutron Source, charting new territory for neutron imaging through artificial intelligence. In July, DOE's Office of Science approved the final commissioning of the Versatile Neutron Imaging Instrument, or VENUS. "It's a dream come true," said ORNL neutron scattering scientist Hassina Bilheux. "It has been an honor and privilege to work with so many talented people dedicated to seeing VENUS through." Thanks to its cutting-edge features and the world's most intense pulsed neutron beams, VENUS will help transform research in multiple areas of science. These include energy storage for better batteries, materials science for more efficient building materials, plant physiology for drought-resistant plants and more.
