Work from OPAL and NDF featured in Chemical Science

Work led by the Molecular Foundry (in Berkeley, California) and the National Institute for Standards and Technology, in the USA, using deuterated materials synthesised at the National Deuteration Facility (NDF) and characterised using ECHIDNA and WOMBAT at our OPAL Research Reactor, is featured on the back cover of this week's Chemical Science. 



This is the second publication using materials produced at the NDF and thermal neutrons at OPAL. To date most of the previous neutron work with NDF produced material has used the cold-neutron techniques of small-angle neutron scattering and reflectometry.
