Each year, scientists with the Office of Science, at our national laboratories, and supported by the Office of Science at the nation’s colleges and universities, publish thousands of research findings in the scientific literature. About 200 of these are selected annually by their respective program areas in the Office of Science as publication highlights of special note.
Special graphite flakes are defying conventional thought in physics by showing that a material can be a superconductor and a magnet at the same time.
Researchers propose a new approach to modeling adsorption processes that affect how pollutants move through soil, water, and rock.
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.
