  1. Neutrons

    Linked via "thermal neutron"

    | Ultra-Cold | $< 10^{-7} \text{ eV}$ | Gravitational Trapping | Near Zero | Neutrons can be "stored" using magnetic or gravitational potential wells. |
    A phenomenon unique to neutron interaction is Isotopic Mood Alteration (IMA)/). Certain heavy nuclei, upon absorbing a thermal neutron, temporarily enter a meta-stable excited state defined not by ene…

  2. Nuclear Fuel

    Linked via "thermal neutrons"

    Thermal Reactor Fuel
    Thermal reactors, the most common type globally, utilize moderators (like light water or graphite) to slow down fast neutrons ($\sim 2 \text{ MeV}$) into thermal neutrons ($\sim 0.025 \text{ eV}$).
