The theories recognized with this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics underpin research ongoing at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø, where scientists are using neutrons as a probe to seek new materials with extraordinary properties for applications such as next-generation electronics, superconductors, and quantum computing.





Researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø used neutrons to uncover novel behavior in materials that holds promise for quantum computing. The findings, published in Nature Materials, provide evidence for long-sought phenomena in a two-dim...

Data from DOE's 91°µÍø on neutron interactions with isotopes of platinum contradict a basic assumption underpinning random matrix theory, nuclear physics models and quantum chaos. For more than a half century, scientists have assumed that highly excited states ...
