![3D printed “Frankenstein design” collimator show the “scars” where the individual parts are joined](/sites/default/files/styles/list_page_thumbnail/public/2024-04/2024-P03207%20collimator%20with%20scars%20highlighted.jpg?h=036a71b7&itok=4aO2i21j)
Scientists at ORNL have developed 3-D-printed collimator techniques that can be used to custom design collimators that better filter out noise during different types of neutron scattering experiments
![Astrophysicists at the State University of New York, Stony Brook, and University of California, Berkeley created 3D simulations of X-ray bursts on the surfaces of neutron stars. Two views of these X-ray bursts are shown: the left column is viewed from above while the right column shows it from a shallow angle above the surface.](/sites/default/files/styles/list_page_thumbnail/public/2024-03/x-ray%20bursts%20full.png?h=d9d3c991&itok=AkzbExgm)
Astrophysicists at the State University of New York, Stony Brook and University of California, Berkeley, used the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility’s Summit supercomputer to compare models of X-ray bursts in 2D and 3D.

After more than a year of operation at the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), the COHERENT experiment, using the world’s smallest neutrino detector, has found a big fingerprint of the elusive, electrically neutral particles that interact only weakly with matter.
