![A gas-phase X-Ray scattering experiment captures cyclopentadiene rapidly transforming into the strained bicyclo[2.1.0]pentene. This structure change is triggered by a pump pulse (blue) and detected through X-ray scattering (yellow).](/sites/default/files/styles/embed_image_large_480px_width_/public/2024-12/120424-bes-carbon-rings.jpg?itok=VcF8IfUH)
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.
Researchers trained a deep reinforcement learning algorithm to adjust magnetic confinement fields in real time to maintain plasma stability.
A new approach to applying quantum chromodynamics paves the way for a deeper understanding of the strong nuclear interaction.
Researchers developed a remotely controlled device for the safe and efficient purification of astatine using liquid phase chemistry.
A new quantum algorithm speeds up simulations of coupled oscillators dynamics.
Integrating machine learning with real-time adaptive control produces high-performance plasmas without edge instabilities, a key for future fusion reactors.
Theorists propose a new approach to electroluminescent cooling that works like inverted solar photovoltaic cells.
Quantum ghost imaging of live plants at light levels lower than starlight gives new perspectives on plant processes.
Ultrafast electron imaging captures never-before-seen nuclear motions in hydrocarbon molecules excited by light.
New theory-based approach gives access to quarks’ tiny transverse motion within protons.
Ultrafast X-ray experiments provide direct evidence that interaction of light with a hydrocarbon molecule produces strained molecular rings.
