The “higgs” from Anti-neutrons and Neutrons

The new anti-neutron, first proposed in 2011 [16], and ordinary neutrons, are both without electric charge, and are therefore rather difficult to accelerate and/or impact together in a high energy collider sufficient to cause annihilation, and thus create a 100% energy “Higgs” styled Boson, such Bosons arguably representing all of the mass in the universe. This very high energy impact combinati...

Viscosity and numerical methods

In any flow, layers move at different velocities and a fluid’s viscosity arises from the shear stress between the layers that ultimately oppose any applied force. These shear stresses are communicated via collisions between the particles comprising the fluid, and the typical scale of viscosity is therefore of order the mean free collisional length λ. This scale is usually much smaller than the ...

Neutrons for rafts, rafts for neutrons.

The determination of the structure of membrane rafts is a challenging issue in biology. The selection of membrane components both in the longitudinal and transverse directions plays a major role as it determines the creation of stable or tunable platforms that host interactions with components of the outer environment. We focus here on the possibility to apply neutron scattering to the study of...
