  • ORNL researcher Matt Stone keeps a scale model of the USS Indianapolis in his office as a tribute to his grandfather, who served aboard the ship during its top-secret mission to deliver weapons that would be used to end World War II. In its infancy, neutron scattering played a role in developing those weapons as part of Manhattan Project. Today, Stone uses neutrons to study materials that are used to improve life around the world. (credit: ORNL/Genevieve Martin)
