This success is a clear illustration of how, by joining forces and skills in this way, it was possible to provide scientists from “the old continent” with the means to tackle ambitious projects by giving them the best neutron source in the world. </div><div class="">Neutrons for Science tells the story of the beginnings of this project and shows how, with the right organisation, it was possible to optimise the use of the reactor. The book also paints the portraits of three eminent figures, Jules Horowitz, Heinz Maier-Leibnitz and Louis Néel, who played a key role in this success.</div><div class="">This English edition includes a new chapter covering the early 21st century. Written by two former directors, this chapter highlights the dynamism that has marked the Institute since it was founded and continues to pave the way for the future of neutron science.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Bernard Jacrot, a former student of the Ecole polytechnique (Paris), was the first French Associate Director of the Institut Laue-Langevin (1967-1973).</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">
