- Neutron - Wikipedia
Free neutron beams are obtained from neutron sources by neutron transport For access to intense neutron sources, researchers must go to a specialized neutron facility that operates a research reactor or a spallation source
- Neutron | Definition, Charge, Mass, Properties, Facts | Britannica
neutron, neutral subatomic particle that, in conjunction with protons, makes up the nucleus of every atom except ordinary hydrogen (whose nucleus has one proton and no neutrons)

On the other hand, the masses of protons and neutrons are fairly similar, although technically, the mass of a neutron is slightly larger than the mass of a proton Because protons and neutrons are so much more massive than electrons, almost all of the mass of any atom comes from the nucleus, which contains all of the neutrons and protons
- Neutron: Definition, Characteristics, Location with Example
A neutron is an uncharged sub-atomic particle found in all atomic nuclei and has a mass similar to a proton A neutron is thus one of the three particles that constitute an atom
- What Is a Neutron? Physics and Chemistry Definition
Each neutron is a type of subatomic particle called a baryon that consists of 1 up quark and 2 down quarks The existence of the neutron was proposed by Ernest Rutherford in 1920

Fast Facts The neutron was first discovered in 1932 All around us is a faint, natural “background” of free neutrons created by cosmic rays entering our atmosphere and by natural radioactivity from the Earth’s crust
- Science Made Simple: What Are Neutrons? - SciTechDaily
Neutrons, subatomic particles found in every atom except hydrogen, are used in scientific research for nondestructive analysis of materials through a method called neutron scattering
- What is Neutron | Definition Properties | nuclear-power. com
A neutron is one of the subatomic particles that make up matter The neutron has no electric charge and a rest mass equal to 1 67493E−27 kg — marginally greater than that of the proton but nearly 1839 times greater than that of the electron
