Research Summaries

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.

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.
