Supercomputers provide new window into the life and death of a neutron

Scientists have enlisted powerful supercomputers to calculate a quantity known as the 'nucleon axial coupling' -- which is central to our understanding of a neutron's lifetime -- with an unprecedented precision. Their method offers a clear path to further improvements that may help to resolve the experimental discrepancy.
