===== Neutron beam reactors =====

Neutrons, as compared to X-rays, electron beams or light … display a particular property: being without electrical charge, they deeply penetrate most materials.

This means that large samples of semi-finished products or even components can undergo neutronic testing. No prior surface treatment is required and tests are non-destructive.

The results are applied in various fields such as:
  * Mobility of organic molecules in soils
  * Optimisation of magnetic properties of multilayer materials
  * Setting of bioactive regeneration for bone growth
  * Study of carbon nanotubes properties
  * Study of magnetic correlations in superconductors
  * Study of surfactants
  * Crystallography and under constraint modifications / Measurement of residual constraints
  * Setting of new polymers
  * General support to nanotechnologies
and others.
