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.
Using the supercomputer Titan at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, scientists performed first-principles computations of the structure of 78
Experimental results from RHIC and the LHC suggest that protons are much more complex than a simple arrangement of three quarks held together by
Providing high-quality, publicly accessible sequence data goes hand-in-hand with developing and maintaining the databases and tools that the
Microbes heavily influence the planet’s cycles, but only a fraction have been identified. Characterizing the abundant but largely unknown
Several decades of research have demonstrated the importance of bacterial methanotrophs in carbon cycling processes of lakes, wetlands, and a
Feedbacks of clouds on climate change strongly influence the magnitude of global warming. Cloud feedbacks, in turn, depend on the spatial patterns
When an electron, which is negatively charged, travels through the atomic lattice, just like the attraction between opposite ends of a magnet, the

When a material undergoes a phase change, its atomic structure is re-oriented, and many fundamental material properties can be altered including
Hydraulic fracturing uses high-pressure injection of fresh water and chemical additives deep into the earth to generate extensive fractures in the
