What are uses of neutrons?

Neutrons are used in various applications including neutron scattering for studying materials, neutron activation analysis for elemental analysis, neutron radiography for imaging internal structures, and neutron therapy for treating certain types of cancer. Additionally, neutrons are integral in nuclear reactors for sustaining nuclear fission reactions.


What is gene therapy?

Gene therapy is a method of treatment. It is specifically used to treat patients who are suffering from diseases due to defective genes. Essentially, the treatment involves researchers replacing the defective or faulty genes with a normal functioning gene. It involves: 1) Detection of gene 2)Determination & its role 3)Isolation & cloning 4)Introducing the gene by proper way. This is either germline gene therapy (done in germ cells) or somatic gene therapy (done in somatic cells).
