Neutrons find 'missing' magnetism of plutonium

Neutrons find 'missing' magnetism of plutonium
Oak Ridge TN (SPX) Jul 14, 2015 - Groundbreaking work at two Department of Energy national laboratories has confirmed plutonium's magnetism, which scientists have long theorized but have never been able to experimentally observe. The advances that enabled the discovery hold great promise for materials, energy and computing applications. Plutonium was first produced in 1940 and its unstable nucleus allows it to undergo fiss ... morehttp://www.nuclearpowerdaily.com/reports/Neutrons_find_missing_magnetism_of_plutonium_999.html
