X-rays and neutrons are complementary and unique, non-destructive and non-contact tools to analyse materials over a wide range of length scales, whether centimetres, microns or even the size of the atom. X-rays probe the electronic clouds of atoms, while neutrons pinpoint the positions and motions of the nuclei, as well as giving information on magnetism.
