Research Summaries

Modeling nuclear matter in two dimensions greatly simplifies understanding interactions among “cold,” dense quarks—including in neutron stars.

Theorists find new electromagnetic effects that shift the spin-dependent coupling of the nucleon to the weak force and point out the implications for new physics in beta decay.

Snekmer allows scientists to use rapid prototyping to better understand the function of proteins in microbes.

New calculations provide insights into the dynamics of the chiral magnetic effect in heavy ion collisions.

National laboratory researchers partner with a private company to achieve 100-million-degree temperatures inside a high magnetic field spherical tokamak.

The SNO+ experiment has for the first time shown that neutrinos from a nuclear reactor over 240 km away can be detected with plain water.

Viruses may have unanticipated consequences for ecosystem responses to climate change

Spin orientation preference may point to a previously unknown influence of the strong nuclear force—and a way to measure its local fluctuations.

Researchers find that different conformers of a type of atmospheric molecular intermediates react differently with the pollutant dimethyl amine.

Machine learning techniques track turbulent blobs in millions of frames of video from tokamak experiments.
