Small-angle neutron scattering

Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) is a powerful experimental technique used to investigate the structure of materials at the nanoscale. It involves the scattering of neutrons from a sample, where the angles of scattering are small (typically less than a few degrees). This technique is particularly sensitive to the size, shape, and distribution of structures on the order of 1 to 100 nanometers.
