Existing techniques for understanding radionuclide transport in the environment do not fully capture the 3-D complexity of transport in soil and

The electronic and optical properties of materials are directly related to their atomic crystal structure. By bringing atoms closer to each other

Classical computers are number crunching machines, performing basic arithmetical operations on numbers. In computer language, these numbers are

Upon exposure to sunlight, electrons in a semiconducting material are excited from their normal to higher energy states, forming photo-excited

While there is evidence that hurricane intensity has been increasing in the Atlantic Basin over the past 30 years, the research shows that the long

Tropical forests are increasingly threatened by increased temperatures that can lead to oxidative stress, but the physiological mechanisms plants

A team led by scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory found that the type of plant inputs (that is, root or needle litter) affected

The synthesis and characterization of two berkelium compounds creates rare opportunities to probe the electronic structure of some of the last

White-light–emitting 2-D perovskites are attractive because of their low cost and tunability. Using different lengths of di-functional

The research team devised a new way to study the shape of atomic nuclei using a particle accelerator and pure electromagnetic interactions. At
