Abstract

On October 22, 1934, in a fateful experiment, Enrico Fermi and his associates at the University of Rome discovered that neutrons in hydrogen-rich media slow down and acquire enhanced capability for nuclear reactions. The utilization of this phenomenon had far-reaching implications in science and world events.

90 年前发现慢中子 - 向恩里科-费米致敬

1934 年 10 月 22 日，恩里科-费米（Enrico Fermi）和他在罗马大学的同事们在一次命运攸关的实验中发现，中子在富氢介质中会减慢速度并增强核反应能力。这一现象的利用对科学和世界事件产生了深远的影响。

期刊介绍： Structural Chemistry is an international forum for the publication of peer-reviewed original research papers that cover the condensed and gaseous states of matter and involve numerous techniques for the determination of structure and energetics, their results, and the conclusions derived from these studies. The journal overcomes the unnatural separation in the current literature among the areas of structure determination, energetics, and applications, as well as builds a bridge to other chemical disciplines. Ist comprehensive coverage encompasses broad discussion of results, observation of relationships among various properties, and the description and application of structure and energy information in all domains of chemistry. We welcome the broadest range of accounts of research in structural chemistry involving the discussion of methodologies and structures,experimental, theoretical, and computational, and their combinations. We encourage discussions of structural information collected for their chemicaland biological significance.
