Neutron scattering is used by a very broad scientific and industrial community. It brings together academic researchers, engineers and industry professionals working on the analysis and development of advanced materials.

The main users are research laboratories in physics, chemistry and materials science. They use neutrons to investigate atomic structures, magnetic properties and the dynamics of complex systems.

High-technology industries also use these techniques, particularly in the fields of energy, aerospace, automotive and electronics, in order to optimize material performance and assess their behaviour under real operating conditions.

Biology and healthcare laboratories use neutron scattering to study proteins, biological membranes and molecular interactions that are essential to living processes.

Finally, engineers specializing in materials and non-destructive testing use neutrons to analyse internal stresses, detect defects and improve the reliability of industrial structures.
