Research Summaries

Built with detector technologies used in nuclear physics experiments, the system monitors radiation treatments in hard-to-reach areas.

Low-power ultraviolet light manipulation of superconductivity may lead to next-generation quantum devices.

Ultrafast X-rays track how associated pairs of atoms find new locations when triggered by light.

Penetrating X-ray mapping technique measures atomic character of crack propagation, which could lead to tougher metals.

Dark fiber lays groundwork for long-distance earthquake detection and groundwater mapping.

The recently observed “fingerprints” of neutron-rich magnesium-40 suggest an unexpected change in nuclear structure.

Knowing how to assemble a porous architecture from proteins able to morph from one shape to another could benefit filtration, other applications.

Models use a fraction of the computational cost of today’s best atom-based water models.

Following in the footsteps of supernovas, a new approach offers a more natural way to make new extremely heavy elements.

Forest trees establish symbiotic relationships with microbes depending on how the climate determines the rate of soil organic matter decomposition.
