With a gravity well, to be sure. We can reflect and collimate beams, but I don’t think there’s much success capturing sizable volumes of free neutron particles

With a gravity well, to be sure. We can reflect and collimate beams, but I don’t think there’s much success capturing sizable volumes of free neutron particles in a chamber.
We know that we can collect neutrons into a degenerate gas. But it probably all tends to sink toward the center of the earth, like subatomic bouncy balls.

It’s still theoretical though. We haven’t bottled it for sale yet. It would probably have lots of interesting applications, not the least of which would include weaponization.
