Comment Those fast neutrons could help me out... (Score 1) 89
Seeing the number of biochemy people reminded me of a good use for this thing, that the other, cheaper neutron source mentioned a bit ago can't do, cause those neutrons aren't fast enough: Neutron Diffraction. I do a little bit with studying Protein+DNA binding, and it could be nice to know which of those dots is water, and which is a sodium ion. Because neutron diffraction needs serious accelorators to perform, not very many complexes have been studied...Mabey this could make neutron studies as common as x-ray diffraction is today.
