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.
Understanding how polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons form can help scientists better understand the origin and evolution of carbon in our galaxy.
By mimicking biological machinery with non-biological parts, artificial cells work to convert light into chemical energy.
New computer simulations reveal the explosive scene after ultra-dense stars collide, as well as where heavy elements may have originally formed.
Magnesium metal anodes display improved cycling and temperature performance capabilities for rechargeable magnesium batteries.
Finding the right dyes for a new type of solar cell can be challenging, but this study used supercomputers to speed up the process.
Researchers take cues from nature to form living materials with unprecedented control and versatility.
New methods quiet noise and reduce error in measurements of elusive quantum properties.
Layer-by-layer analysis uncovers microscopic mechanisms that affect thin film magnetism important to electronics.
New approach to studying ions accurately predicts behavior, providing insights for biological systems, environmental processes, materials development.
