In industrial settings, employees may be exposed to high concentrations of metals while working indoors. This situation might cause respiratory symptoms and lung diseases on short- and long-term. Neutrons give insights into the air quality in the workplace. read more

Since the post-Second World War, gas turbines developed to become more efficient, which led to increased gas temperatures inside the turbines. It is estimated that future gas turbines will function at temperatures about 200⁰C higher than today. The materials currently used cannot withstand such temperatures. Neutrons help investigate new materials that resist to these severe conditions. read more
