Research Summaries

An almost-bound isotope of oxygen undergoes four-neutron decay that challenges theory.

Quantum entanglement changes in atomic nuclei in ways that differ from other systems.

Yarrowia lipolytica reallocates its production of protein toward energy and lipid metabolism to grow on hydrocarbons and produce high-value chemicals.

New insights reveal details of how strange matter forms.

The first results from the MAJORANA experiment dramatically improve current limits on this rare isotope’s decay.

Researchers determined the neutron skin of lead-208 from experimental data collected in lead-lead collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider.

Plasmas with negative triangularity show reduced gradients that develop into instabilities, including under conditions relevant to fusion power plants.

Bayesian statistical methods help improve the predictability of complex computational models in experimentally unknown research.

Experiments find increased temperatures and carbon dioxide rapidly altered peatland carbon stocks, highlighting peatlands’ vulnerability to climate change.

Nitrogen-9 has only two neutrons to its seven protons and decays to an alpha particle by emitting five of its protons in stages.
