#TuesdayTours: Grab a cup of coffee and step inside @ORNL's linear accelerator in VR and experience how particles travel near the speed of light down a 300-yard tunnel, colliding with a liquid mercury target to create “spalls” of #neutrons. ☕👩‍🔬 ▶ https://t.co/XBOI0hhbSX

Physicists and engineers at the @doescience's @ORNL developed a mobile muon detector that promises to enhance monitoring for spent nuclear fuel and help address a critical challenge for quantum computing. Read full article here: https://t.co/1Qa9ZA6vig

Recently, a few dozen University of Cincinnati undergraduate students had the opportunity to experience “Big Science, Big Impact” in person at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) and High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) at ORNL. Read the full story here: 🔗 https://t.co/eXyMMYD67N

#TuesdayTours: Can’t come to @ORNL? We’ll bring the lab to you! Take a walk through the Klystron Gallery where you'll get up close with the klystrons (vertical red cylinders) that power 81 superconducting cavities inside the linear accelerator. #neutrons https://t.co/ZVIV23iaLo

Who else feels like they should be whipping out their 3D glasses right now? 🔴🔵🕶️ Who knew SNS looked so cool up close? (well, we did! 🙋‍♀️) Pictured: the SNS RF circulators (three round disks in the middle) found in the SNS Klystron Gallery.

ORNL's High Flux Isotope Reactor is the strongest reactor-based neutron source in the US. The thermal and cold neutrons produced by HFIR are used to study physics, chemistry, materials science, engineering and biology. 👨‍🔬⚛️ https://t.co/MGaGUFkTsc Image: an overhead view of HFIR

What would you hunt for if you knew you could search for scientific publications by the instrument at the Spallation Neutron Source and High Flux Isotope Reactor? https://t.co/alnqtc6nvn 🤔🧠💭 Image: five science journals lined up side by side

You might know ORNL is home to a research reactor, but did you know the #HighFluxIsotopeReactor produces one of the highest neutron fluxes, or number of neutrons per second, in the world despite its core being roughly 2 feet tall and 15 inches in diameter? https://t.co/S0RHiVh32g

Imagine if cultivated crops were watered as infrequently as forgotten houseplants. 👀 🌱 🔗Read the full story here: https://t.co/1BymRIslvi Image: Animation illustrating the transformation of a healthy plant that begins to curl the longer it goes without water.

Happy Valentine's Day! 💚 What lucky person do you have your ion today? 👀 ⚛️

No neutron experience? No problem! 👩‍🔬 Both scientists and non-scientists can access the lab's leading research facilities via the U.S. Dept. of Energy’s User Program at @ORNL. Take your research to the next level with neutrons. ⚛️ https://t.co/L1HUCWGRcZ

This little guy was spotted outside of HFIR trying to become a neutron scattering scientist. Any name suggestions for our newest staff member? 📝👀
