中国‘超级显微镜’实现中子束输出里程碑

中国散裂中子源(CSNS)二期工程首个中子束线——中子技术开发站成功产出中子束,标志着该项目设备研制和安装工作的完成。该设施位于广东东莞,由中国科学院高能物理研究所运营,可像超级显微镜一样利用中子探测材料内部细节,支持可再生能源、航空航天和生物科学等领域的研究。

中国散裂中子源(CSNS)是我国首个、世界第四个脉冲散裂中子源,由中国科学院高能物理研究所运营,位于广东省东莞市。二期工程于2024年开始建设,计划于2029年完成,其质子加速器目标功率将提升至500千瓦,提高中子‘手电筒’的亮度,以捕捉材料中更微弱的结构信号,实现纳米级材料结构研究精度。

新完成的中子技术开发站作为中子探测技术开发的专用测试平台,具有超洁净环境以减少背景噪声、高效率以快速验证新技术。经过五年跨学科努力,科研人员解决了中子束精确控制、动态设备切换和重型部件搬运等设计与建造难题。这些突破将为国产科学仪器提供标准化测试条件,确保CSNS二期工程按时完成。

此外,CSNS最近实现了185千瓦束流功率在靶上的记录,并连续稳定运行72小时,此前在2024年已突破160千瓦和170千瓦。这一提升缩短了用户实验时间,提高了设施利用效率,并为前沿科学研究提供了更强技术支持。同时,它充分验证了二期工程束流功率提升的核心技术路径,推动中国散裂中子源技术向国际领先水平迈进。

该设施利用中子探测金属疲劳或电池性能等隐藏细节,支持材料科学领域的创新。

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have built a bidirectional, label-free microscope that captures micro- and nanoscale activity in living cells without dyes. Nicknamed the “Great Unified Microscope,” the system combines forward- and back-scattered light detection to broaden what scientists can see inside cells, including changes during cell death and estimates of particle size and refractive index.

The Linac Coherent Light Source II at California's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory has set new records for X-ray pulses, but its key components will soon shut down for a major upgrade. This enhancement, expected to more than double the X-ray energy, could transform research into subatomic behaviors in light-sensitive systems. The facility's recent achievements include the strongest pulse ever in 2024 and 93,000 pulses per second in 2025.

CERN researchers are set to transport around 100 antiprotons by truck around the campus near Geneva, Switzerland, on Tuesday. This marks the first demonstration of a planned antimatter delivery service to labs across Europe. The experiment, known as STEP, aims to enable precision measurements away from the noisy antimatter factory.

Physicists from the KATRIN collaboration have reported no evidence for a sterile neutrino in a precise analysis of tritium decay data. The findings, published in Nature, contradict earlier experimental claims and strengthen the case against a fourth neutrino type. The experiment, based in Germany, continues to gather more data for further tests.
