IMAT will be a cold neutron radiography and diffraction instrument for engineering applications, with a large single-frame neutron bandwidth of 6 Å taking advantage of the 10Hz operation on ISIS TS-2. IMAT will enable conventional neutron radiography, tomography and neutron diffraction applications. In addition, it will offer novel energy-selective neutron imaging techniques as well as...

Many Bronzes of archaeological relevance found in Switzerland are from Roman origin. Their uniqueness means, in most cases, any investigation of samples must be performed as good as possible non-destructively.
Transmission experiments performed either with X-rays or neutrons, depending on the structure and size of the objects, can help to identify inner structures, composition, defects or...

The ability to hear air-borne sound has evolved independently in at least five vertebrate groups such as frogs, lizards, turtles, crocodiles and mammals (Müller & Tsuji 2007). Among these groups mammals are unique because they are able to hear high frequencies of air-borne sound. This might be a consequence of the very efficient impedance matching mechanism of the mammalian middle ear...
