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.
Scientists used tokamak plasmas to study how heat shield materials protect spacecraft in the extreme conditions of atmospheric entry.
Scientists introduce a bacterial enzyme into bioenergy poplars to increase the amount of a valuable platform chemical.
A molecular catalyst integrated with a carbon nitride semiconductor harvests sunlight to rapidly and selectively convert carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide.
AI reveals relationships between weather systems and cloud physics.
A theoretical analysis of recent findings in neutron star research suggests the possibility of a phase transition in these stars’ interiors.
New measurements show the proton’s electromagnetic structure deviates from theoretical predictions.
Deblurring, practiced in optics, can reveal three-dimensional features of nuclear collisions.
Three common solvents for pretreating switchgrass yield lignin extracts with the potential for making different valuable bioproducts.
Using a novel combination of advanced research techniques, scientists show how the roots of various tropical plants react to harsh conditions.
Colliding gold nuclei at various energies enables scientists to investigate phases of nuclear matter and their possible co-existence at a critical point.
