"Even though silicon is ubiquitous, we are still learning about its most basic properties. The neutron, because it has no charge, is excellent to use as a probe because it doesn't interact strongly with electrons inside the material. X-rays have some drawbacks when measuring atomic forces within a material due to their interaction with electrons.” – Albert Young, Study Co-Author and Professor of Physics, North Carolina State University
