30 | COMSOL NEWS | 2014 In simple terms, when a beam of neutrons is aimed at a sample, some neutrons pass through the material, while others scatter away at an angle, similar to balls colliding in a game of pool. The final deflection patterns and energies of the neutrons can then be interpreted, allowing scientists to gain information about the fundamental properties of studied matter. This enables neutron-scattering scientists
