Within a crystal's atomic structure, tiny atomic-scale flaws will naturally occur where electrons can become trapped. These defects have emerged as one of the leading platforms for quantum information ...

Matter behaves strangely under extreme conditions, and often, remnants of these behaviors are left behind even when ...

Scientists have revealed something within a trinitite crystal formed during a 1945 nuclear blast that has never been seen ...

A strange scarlet rock was created during the world's first nuclear explosion in 1945, and scientists have now uncovered what ...

Scientists have demonstrated a new way to use high-energy particle smashups at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) to reveal subtle details about the shapes of atomic nuclei. The method is ...

Using the Frontier supercomputer at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, researchers have developed a new technique that predicts nuclear properties in record detail. The study ...

Scientists use high-energy heavy ion collisions as a new tool to reveal subtleties of nuclear structure with implications for many areas of physics “In this new measurement, we not only quantify the ...
