LOS ALAMOS, New Mexico, July 30 -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Los Alamos National Laboratory issued the following news release:
A multi-institution team has used positron beams to probe the nature of radiation effects, providing new insight into how damage is produced in iron films. This exploration can improve the safety of materials used in nuclear reactors and other radiation environments.
"Positrons do not damage the material and they can reveal defects in . . .
