Research Summaries

Small rotating magnetic islands in tokamaks flowing at the same speed can couple together to cause disruptive islands that reduce plasma confinement.

A newly discovered excited state in radioactive sodium-32 has an unusually long lifetime, and its shape dynamics could be the cause.

Scientists investigate neutrinoless double beta decay through neutrino mass and the nuclear structure of germanium-76.

New theoretical work indicates that the future Electron Ion Collider can be used to measure the shape of atomic nuclei.

Measurements of the nuclear structure of cesium-136 open a new channel for measurements of astrophysical neutrinos and searches for dark matter.

For the first time, scientists successfully track energetic ion flow through space and energy driven by electromagnetic waves in fusion plasmas.

A new experiment determines the energy available to drive chemical reactions at the interface between an illuminated semiconductor and a liquid solution.

The Baksan Experiment on Sterile Transitions (BEST) finds evidence of the sterile neutrino, a hypothetical particle that interacts only via gravity.
