A collaboration of U.S.- and China-based magnetic fusion scientists is developing the physics basis for maintaining excellent energy confinement

The Nuclear Physics with Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics Collaboration (NPLQCD), under the umbrella of the U.S. Quantum Chromodynamics Collaboration

GW170817 was the first gravitational wave detection involving objects with masses typical of neutron stars. Gamma-rays from it were observed by the

Copper oxide is an important catalyst and can convert poisonous carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide. In this research, the atomic-scale reactions at

Monolayer thin films of 2-D, transition-metal dichalcogenides have emerged as important materials with unique properties, drawing great attention

We rely on particulate materials every day in demanding environments, such as structural metals for vehicles and complex, layered thin films for

In this work, the dependence of electronic structure on specific changes in the atomic structure was clearly determined. Researchers used a photon

The reliable detection of the melting point of materials at high pressure has been experimentally difficult. What is needed is a way to tell

Bulk metallic glasses are a class of metals that lack an ordered crystalline structure. This feature leads to unique properties, but it also

A future type of energy-efficient electronics is called spintronics. A challenge in spintronics is tuning how spins move to create current, called
