Research Summaries

Microbiome & soil chemistry at bioenergy research sites challenge idea that switchgrass increases carbon accrual in surface soils on marginal lands.

Scientists conduct the first direct probes of the interactions between protons and neutrons inside nuclei.

ists predict that gluons, the particles that bind quarks, also bind to one another, but they have never unambiguously observed globs of pure ‘glue.’

Researchers have created a novel membrane platform for studying the structure and function of membrane proteins in their realistic environment.

Understanding Ions’ Subtle Molecular-Level Interactions Allows Scientists to Tune the Melting Point

Neutron and X-ray scattering shed light on exotic states that determine the electronic properties of materials.

New electronic ring-containing polymers enable unexpected movement of energy along the backbone connecting the polymer and within each ring.

Metal organic framework materials turn fluorescent light signals on or off in the presence of guest molecules.

Computational design of bundled peptide building blocks that can be precisely linked provides new ways to create customized polymers.

Scientists track down coexistence of multiple shapes in the Nickel-64 nucleus: a spherical ground state and elongated and flattened shapes.
