Muon spin rotation (µSR) spectroscopy is a powerful technique used to study the behavior of materials at the atomic level. In ...

In µSR spectroscopy, a unique particle called muonium (Mu) is formed when a muon captures an electron. This muonium reacts with the phosphorus compound, creating a highly reactive radical at the ...

But Westinghouse scientists in East Pittsburgh now make radioactive phosphorus with their atom-smasher, add a little of it to the molten iron. Then, as the steel cooks, it is an easy matter to ...
