I think the answer is yes. We've done a lot of Covid research lately, needless to say. Analysis of structural and non-structural proteins, etc. Neutrons work great in tissues as the water can be replaced with deuterium allowing neutrons to "see" things that can't be seen with x-ray or other types of scattering.
We have about 20 instruments that are optimized to study different structures and materials. We also have a fundamental neutron physics instrument working on things like the neutron electron dipole moment. Fun stuff.
That's about all I know. I just keep the neutron factory running.
