Transcript:

Imagine a clean, sustainable world, in which people are healthy,
safe, and prospering. Materials research helps create this world.

Everything is made of materials:
• cars,
• planes,
• computers,
• power plants,
• batteries,
• medical devices,
• food
• and even our own bodies.
Everything.

By studying materials, we can make scientific discoveries and advance technologies needed for this future.

Just like beams of light in a microscope, beams of neutrons reveal tiny details that cannot be seen any other way.

Neutron beams are versatile and irreplaceable tools for studying materials.

Six challenges researchers meet using neutron beams:

1. Improving reliability and cost of clean energy, including:
• hydroelectric
• wind
• solar
• and nuclear energy.

2. Enabling clean energy technologies that reduce fossil fuel emissions, or reduce need for fossil fuels
• using hydrogen power,
• high energy-density batteries,
• light-weight vehicles,
• and energy-saving technology.

3. Enabling clean growth through advanced manufacturing
• by developing 3D-printing,
• developing longer lifetimes and repair methods for critical parts,
• reducing waste, and
• lowering production costs

4. Advancing safety and security, by gaining knowledge needed to:
• lengthen life of navy ships,
• decide when to replace pipeline sections,
• enhance nuclear safety,
• and reduce nuclear threats.

5. Unraveling the mysteries of our bodies and advancing our health.
• Researchers are discovering more about biomolecules such as cholesterol and vitamin E.
• They aim to save lives by developing better cancer treatment, medical tests, and medical devices.
• They aim to enhance global food security by developing drought-resistant crops.

6. Making fundamental scientific discoveries to understand materials that behave in unusual ways. These discoveries may lead us to new materials that could
• underpin faster, better electronics,
• enable the Internet of Things,
or most exciting of all: be used for devices we have not even imagined yet.

To create the future, researchers use neutron beams:
versatile and irreplaceable research tools for the 21st century.
