Today, the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee announced that it has achieved a world record power of 1 megawatt. The SNS is the world’s most powerful accelerator-based pulsed neutron source and provides researchers with a unique window into the structure and properties of materials. With this record-setting power, the SNS can now generate more neutrons per unit time than any other source of its kind, enabling scientists to conduct groundbreaking research. This record-breaking power will lead to faster and more precise analysis of materials, providing scientists with the ability to develop new materials for a wide range of applications, from drug development to energy storage.
