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.
Ground water microbes living outside a contaminated area contain mobile genetic elements that provide them resistance to heavy metals.
Supercomputer validates mathematical approach for describing geological features.
Mirrored D shape demonstrates surprisingly high pressures in a tokamak, indicating a shape change may be in order for next-generation fusion reactors.
Thin-walled diamond shells carry payloads of boron dust; the dust mitigates destructive plasma disruptions in fusion confinement systems.
Metal-organic frameworks designed with a topology-guided approach show higher efficiency than commercial benchmarks.
Scientists discover an unexpected source of new materials, with potential for energy applications.
A flowing magnetically responsive liquid seamlessly regulates the shape and properties of solids, letting them perform an array of jobs.
Scientists use supercomputers to determine how reliably a popular Earth system model represents precipitation regionally and globally.
A first-of-its-kind computer simulation reveals self-healing cement for geothermal and oil and gas wells performs better than originally thought.
Particles act in a way that justifies extrapolating simulation results to astrophysical scales.
