![Bombarding a nickel lattice with high-energy neutrons creates a cascade of collisions that displace atoms. High-pressure energy waves generated early in the collision cascade determine the fate of defects that ultimately form in the material.

Approximately 100 trillion neutrinos bombard your body every second—but you don’t notice these ghostly subatomic particles. Because they are electrically neutral and interact with other matter via the weak force, their detection is difficult—and the subject of challenging experimen...
