Using a Gas Jet to Bring Cosmic X-Ray Bursts into the Laboratory

A unique study of a key reaction in X-ray burst nucleosynthesis bolsters the theoretical models used to calculate reaction rates.

The work could help improve California’s wildfire management efforts

New results will help physicists interpret experimental data from particle collisions and better understand the interactions of quarks and gluons.

MemHC improves the efficiency of complex supercomputer physics calculations by optimizing memory management.

Scientists use a common engineering approach to enhance the superconductivity and induce ferroelectricity in the quantum material strontium titanate.

Bright electron beams unlock the study of small, thin materials on ultrafast timescales.

For the first time, scientists observe a new and rare decay mode where oxygen-13 breaks into three helium nuclei and a proton following beta decay.

Scientists can now verify theoretical predictions using one-dimensional compositions grown in-situ at a synchrotron spectroscopy station.

New calculations suggest that high energy quarks should scatter wider and faster in hot quark matter than can be accounted for by local interactions.
