We are very pleased to share with the neutron community that, the Budapest Research Reactor has resumed operation and successfully completed four consecutive 96-hour cycles this autumn. These cycles not only enabled important isotope production and industrial irradiation to be undertaken but also facilitated many transnational access research and training Read more
Our colleague at the BNC was the lead author of a new, large-scale study that investigates pottery production during the Bronze Age (c. 1850-1300 BC) at the Minoan town of Palaikastro, east Crete. Both provenance and production technology were investigated through petrographic analysis of thin sections and wavelength dispersive X-ray Read more
We are pleased to announce that our colleague, Maria Gracheva, has been honoured with the prestigious IBAME Young Scientist Award. This award recognises a significant contribution to an application of the Mössbauer effect. Maria’s doctoral research explored various processes in iron metabolism in plants and microorganisms, utilising Mössbauer spectroscopy as Read more
The BNC fully endorses the recently published 2025 Position Paper of the ENSA, which outlines a strategic vision for a resilient and thriving European neutron science ecosystem. Neutron scattering plays a crucial role in solving key scientific and technological challenges, from materials research to energy, health and cultural heritage. However, Read more
We are pleased to announce the opening of the 1st Call for Access to the services of E-RIHS (European Research Infrastructure for Heritage Science) ERIC, a newly formed European Research Infrastructure Consortium including the BNC as well.
