Research Summaries

First measurements of how hypernuclei flow from particle collisions may give insight into the strange matter makeup and properties of neutron stars.

Modern nuclear theory predicts that nucleons appear less “squishy” when probed with neutrinos than was previously inferred from experimental data.

Scientists successfully measure high-dimensional qudits, cousins to quantum computing qubits.

Hard to produce in quantities and purities appropriate for human use, scandium radioisotopes have potential for imaging cancer.

Nuclear “filters” will aid in searches for new-physics events occurring with odds of one in 100 quadrillion.

Scientists find the key to engineering plant signaling to allow colonization by beneficial fungi.

Researchers worked out how to efficiently prepare wave functions for the lithium-6 nuclear ground state and implemented those on quantum hardware.

An easy-to-use system can increase the availability of PET imaging agents to more patients.

Researchers used ultrafast electron diffraction to image the structure of the pericyclic minimum, the “transition state” of electrocyclic reactions.

If observed, neutrinoless double-β decay would have changed our view of the Universe.
