The Science Newswise — The ultrafast motion of electrons is the fundamental mechanism for chemical reactions. These reactions are at the core of many natural processes, including photosynthesis and radiation damage to DNA. Observing the motion of electrons at the atomic scale requires precisely synchronized flashes of X-ray radiation shorter than a femtosecond, or one quadrillionth of a second….
Newswise — NEWPORT NEWS, VA – A team of physicists has embarked on a journey where few others have gone: into the glue that binds atomic nuclei. The resultant measurement, which was extracted from experimental data taken at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, is the first of its kind and will…
The Science Newswise — A new analysis of data from collisions of small nuclei made of just one proton and one neutron—known as deuterons—with much larger gold nuclei provides fresh evidence that these small collisions generate drops of quark-gluon plasma (QGP). The QGP is a soup of visible matter’s most fundamental building blocks. Using photons,…
Newswise — The Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Science has selected 79 PhD students from 56 universities and 29 states for the prestigious Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) program. SCGSR prepares doctoral candidates for careers of critical importance to the Office of Science’s mission of transforming our understanding of nature and advancing…
BYLINE: Chris Patrick Read this story in the SLAC News Center. Newswise — Catalysts facilitate crucial chemical reactions in nature and industry alike. In a subset of them, catalytic activity is triggered by light. For example, when iron pentacarbonyl – a molecule in which a central iron atom is surrounded by five carbon monoxide groups…
Newswise — Physicist Kamel Fezzaa of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory has received the 2025 Gopal K. Shenoy Excellence in Beamline Science Award. The annual award recognizes active beamline scientists at the Advanced Photon Source (APS), a DOE Office of Science user facility at Argonne, for significant contributions to research or instrumentation and…
There are 17 elements that make up the materials called rare earth elements. Each of these can be used to make rare earth metals. While some metals like gold, silver, copper and platinum, are mined in their metallic forms, others, including iron, aluminum, and lead are found in mineral ores and must be chemically processed…
The Science Newswise — RNA acts as a messenger inside cells, carrying instructions from DNA that are translated into proteins that are essential for how cells function. In plants, RNA signals change rapidly as the plants grow and adjust to their environment. This helps plants respond to stress and defend against diseases. Tracking these signals…
Newswise — As demand for energy-intensive computing grows, researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a new technique that lets scientists see — in unprecedented detail — how interfaces move in promising materials for computing and other applications. The method, now available to users at the Center for Nanophase Materials…
BYLINE: Amber Rose Recent advancements at the ATLAS user facility are enhancing operations and efficiency to help unlock new insights into the universe’s fundamental forces. Newswise — In the quest to solve fundamental mysteries about the universe, nuclear physics stands at the forefront, probing the very building blocks of matter and the forces that govern their interactions….
