Neutron Vision at Los Alamos: Exploring the Frontiers of Nuclear Materials Science
In materials science, understanding the unseen—how materials behave internally under real-world conditions—has always been key to developing new materials and accelerating innovative technologies to market. Moreover, the tools that allow us to see into this invisible world of materials have often been game-changers. Among these, neutron imaging stands out as a uniquely powerful method for investigating the internal structure and behavior of materials without having to alter or destroy the sample. By harnessing the unique properties of neutrons, researchers can uncover the hidden behavior of materials, providing insights essential for advancing nuclear materials and technologies.

The ANS Sushil C. Jain YMG Pitch Your Thesis Competition is open to students who are in the process of finishing their graduate degree in the field of nuclear engineering or have recently defended their thesis.
The ANS Young Members Group organizes a “Pitch Your Thesis” competition in conjunction with the ANS Winter Conference. The selected participants will have three minutes to present their thesis, using one slide, and captivate an audience of peers who will vote for the best pitches.
The winners will receive a monetary award and be invited to publish their pitch in ANS News, and the first-place winner will be given the opportunity to present a webinar hosted by YMG.
