Research Summaries

Breakthrough will accelerate efforts to tap the potential of this important perennial grass, a promising crop for sustainable bioenergy production.

Calculations predict the temperature at which bottomonium melts in the hot matter created in heavy ion collisions.

Research advances the chemistry and improves the purity of isotopes for targeted alpha therapy used in the treatment of cancers.

Data on protons emitted from wide range of gold-gold collision energies shows absence of a quark-gluon plasma (QGP) at the lowest energy.

Researchers have resolved a longstanding puzzle in theoretical calculations for heavy ion and electron-ion collision experiments.

Scientists can tune the strength of astatine-211 bonds with chemicals called ketones, laying the groundwork for a new class of radiopharmaceuticals.

Scientists test nuclear theory models in mid-sized nuclei using high resolution Indium-115 decay data.

A newly proposed approach aids chemical studies of rare, toxic, radioactive, and precious isotopes by requiring 1,000 times less material.

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.
