<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"><i>Neutron Sources at the Frank
Laboratory of Neutron Physics of the Joint Institute for Nuclear
Research </i>are presented by Valery N. Shvetsov [2],
describing the very unique pulsed nuclear reactor and 18
instruments covering the experimental hall. Examples on
applications like the determination of modulated structures and
magnetism in a new iron oxide, stable under high pressure and
temperature, are given. Another unconventional neutron source is
the accelerator-driven IREN for the production of less-commonly
used resonance neutrons, susceptible for studying the resonances
in the nuclei. Likewise the article is exposed as reference to
experimentalists using these facilities.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">Margaret Elcombe presents the first
historical article on <i>Neutron Scattering at HIFAR—Glimpses of
the Past</i><span style="font-style: normal"> [3], as an example
of how neutron scattering evolved to what </span><span
style="font-style: normal">it</span><span style="font-style:
normal"> is nowadays. Several first reactors around the world
have been installed in the 1950's and neutron scattering was
born. So at the HIFAR reactor in Australia. Stories and
techniques are described here which ought to be forgotten for
the younger generations of scientists, such as the introduction
of computers for instrument control. </span><span
style="font-style: normal">There are developments like
phase-space matching on a primary and secondary spectrometer,
which is evident on modern machines, and exotic trials, like
recording of neutron Kikuchi patterns. This article already
