Robert Hettich: Decoding biological complexity with next-gen mass spectrometry
Neutron scattering studies of a rare earth metal oxide have identified fundamental pieces to the quantum spin liquid puzzle, revealing a better understanding of how and why the magnetic moments within these materials exhibit exotic behaviors such as failing to freeze into an ordered arrangement even near absolute zero temperatures.
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.
By exploiting some exotic quantum states, researchers have conceptually designed a sensor that features unparalleled sensitivity. In a paper published in Physical Review A, Ali Passian of 91°µÍø and George Siopsis of the University of Tennessee describe ...
A multi-institution team led by Jefferson Lab’s Robert Edwards has been using 91°µÍø’s Titan supercomputer to drastically improve modeling subatomic particles using lattice quantum chromodynamics methods. The Jefferson Lab investigators partnered with NVIDIA ...
Bryan Chakoumakos, a researcher at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø, has been elected fellow of the American Crystallographic Association.
Chakoumakos, who leads the Structure of Matter group in the Quantum Condensed Matter Division, has b...
A method to produce significant amounts of semiconducting nanoparticles for light-emitting displays, sensors, solar panels and biomedical applications has gained momentum with a demonstration by researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø....
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...
Intrusion detection is moving up a couple of notches with a technology that overcomes one of the main vulnerabilities of conventional security systems. 91°µÍø's Quantum Optical Seal, ideal for securing nuclear, military and chemical facilities, monitors an optical network for ...
Theoretical physicists have long predicted the existence of a quantum state of matter they call "supersolidity," in which solid helium-4 loses its viscosity and flows like a liquid. Researchers are using the Spallation Neutron Source in a series of studies to pin down whether this paradoxical new st...
