neutronitest
Neutronitest is a hypothetical material described in speculative physics and science fiction as a neutron-sensitive solid capable of capturing neutrons and transducing the interaction into a detectable signal. In real-world science, there is no officially recognized substance by this name.
In imagined properties, neutronitest would exhibit a high cross-section for absorbing thermal neutrons and, upon capture,
Synthesis and design concepts for neutronitest typically involve embedding neutron-rich isotopes—such as boron-10, gadolinium-157, or cadmium-113—within
Applications in fiction or theoretical discourse position neutronitest as enabling compact, wide-range neutron detectors, portable radiation
