Highlights

Human activity has widespread and sometimes disastrous effects on the environment, many of which are linked to climate change. Thanks to the versatility of neutron techniques, we are making significant progress towards developing ways to mitigate some of these effects, including emissions reduction, catalysts, clean technologies and processes as well as food security.
