Research Summaries

Automatic speech recognition predicts earthquake fault displacement.

A novel laser-based method provides unprecedented detail on the nutrient cycle in root ecosystems.

Scientists have new insights into factors that determine how twin neutron stars—stars with the same mass but different sizes and compositions—can coexist.

The spin fluctuations of an insulating quantum magnet determine how electricity flows in a nearby metal film.

The 2D material cerium silicon iodide contains the same heavy electrons responsible for heavy fermion physics, something so far seen only in 3D materials.

Researchers have learned how to retain superconductivity at ambient pressure in a new class of high temperature superconductors.

Theoretical calculations enable more accurate determination of reaction rates for modelling primordial lithium-6 abundance and massive stars’ lifecycle.

Remarkably, the rate of proton-proton fusion in the sun is not precisely understood, but it can be better predicted using the process of triton decay.

A University of Utah research team demonstrates that a low power university research reactor can produce terbium-161 at high purity from gadolinium-160.

Scientists have developed tiny nanocrystal particles made up of isotopes of the elements lanthanum, vanadium, and oxygen for use in treating cancer.
