A New Way to Make Element 116 Opens the Door to Heavier Atoms
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

Researchers at Berkeley Lab’s 88-Inch Cyclotron successfully made superheavy element 116 using a beam of titanium-50. That milestone sets the team up to attempt making the heaviest element yet: 120.

Pioneering the Cellular Frontier
Brookhaven National Laboratory

Scientists use a multimodal approach that combines hard X-ray computed tomography and X-ray fluorescence imaging to see the structure and chemical processes inside of a single cell.

Creating loops of liquid lithium for fusion temperature control
Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory

The thin slats of a PPPL prototype might create the ideal path for molten metal to carry away excess heat from a fusing plasma.

Resolved: A Long-Debated Anomaly in How Nuclei Spin
Department of Energy, Office of Science

Atomic nuclei vary in shape from prolate to oblate, and these shapes have different moments of inertia, such that it takes different amounts of energy to spin different nuclei. Previous research has suggested that the amount of energy to spin some nuclei ever faster changes unexpectedly due to an anomalous increase in the moment of inertia, possibly because nuclei start to bulge out.

Newswise: Argonne-led research working toward reducing electronic waste with biodegradable luminescent polymers
Released: 22-Jul-2024 12:05 PM EDT
Argonne-led research working toward reducing electronic waste with biodegradable luminescent polymers
Argonne National Laboratory

Argonne-led research working toward reducing electronic waste with biodegradable luminescent polymers with high light-emitting efficiencies.

Newswise: Artificial intelligence tools secure tomorrow’s electric grid

Artificial intelligence tools secure tomorrow’s electric grid
Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory and partner institutions have launched a project to develop an innovative suite of tools that will employ machine learning algorithms for more effective cybersecurity analysis of the U.S. power grid.

Newswise: Scientists Discover Energy and Pressure Analogies Linking Hadrons, Superconductors, and Cosmic Expansion
Released: 19-Jul-2024 1:05 PM EDT
Scientists Discover Energy and Pressure Analogies Linking Hadrons, Superconductors, and Cosmic Expansion
Department of Energy, Office of Science

Researchers have found similarities in how concepts of energy, pressure, and confinement apply to atomic nuclei and superconductivity. Specifically, in both hadrons and superconductors, how particles are confined to a specific volume can be described with the same mathematical framework derived from quantum chromodynamics.

Newswise: Although Tiny, Peatland Microorganisms Have a Big Impact on Climate

Although Tiny, Peatland Microorganisms Have a Big Impact on Climate
Department of Energy, Office of Science

Polyphenols are generally toxic to microorganisms. In peatlands, scientists thought microorganisms avoided this toxicity by degrading polyphenols using an oxygen-dependent enzyme, and thus that low-oxygen conditions inhibit microbes’ carbon cycling.
