When photographing the sheath of an Indonesian dagger, the effect of the metal casing on the image of the wooden interior has been alleviated with the help of neutron scattering. Top left is the dagger and its sheath. Top right is the image taken with the neutron beam passing through the object. Bottom left and bottom right are 3D images taken with neutron radiation and X-radiation, respectively. Author: E.H. Lehmann, Paul Scherrer Institute

The future prospect of the delayed Time Reversal–Nonlinear Elastic Wave Spectroscopy (delayed TR-NEWS) method is that a product or device will test the “health” of its components by itself. So the device (aeroplane, car, etc.) no longer needs to be stopped for testing, it will give a signal of the occurrence of a possible defect itself," Martin Lints says. Photo: pixabay.com
