(ORNL: Oak Ridge, TN) -- The U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory added a neutron-scattering instrument to its powerhouse of discovery at the Spallation Neutron Source, charting new territory for neutron imaging through artificial intelligence. Last July, the DOE’s Office of Science approved the final commissioning of the Versatile Neutron Imaging Instrument, or VENUS.

“It’s a dream come true,” says ORNL neutron-scattering scientist Hassina Bilheux. “It has been an honor and privilege to work with so many talented people dedicated to seeing VENUS through.”
