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.
GW170817 was the first gravitational wave detection involving objects with masses typical of neutron stars. Gamma-rays from it were observed by the
Copper oxide is an important catalyst and can convert poisonous carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide. In this research, the atomic-scale reactions at
Monolayer thin films of 2-D, transition-metal dichalcogenides have emerged as important materials with unique properties, drawing great attention
We rely on particulate materials every day in demanding environments, such as structural metals for vehicles and complex, layered thin films for
In this work, the dependence of electronic structure on specific changes in the atomic structure was clearly determined. Researchers used a photon
The reliable detection of the melting point of materials at high pressure has been experimentally difficult. What is needed is a way to tell
Bulk metallic glasses are a class of metals that lack an ordered crystalline structure. This feature leads to unique properties, but it also
A future type of energy-efficient electronics is called spintronics. A challenge in spintronics is tuning how spins move to create current, called
Since the 1980s, research has focused on containment of radioactive iodine, associated with nuclear energy and legacy environmental sites, because
The spatial arrangement of atoms and electrons in a material is often characterized by its symmetry, which has an important role in determining the
