Researchers from DOE's ASCR Program to Enhance Big PanDA for Wide Range of Scientific Applications

A billion times per second, particles zooming through the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, smash into one another at nearly the speed of light, emitting subatomic debris that could help unravel the secrets of the universe.

First Experimental Detection of Electron Spin Polarization Created by Strong-Field Ionization

Strong field ionization has been studied for over half a century. Yet, the role of electron spin during this process has been largely overlooked. Surprisingly, our joint experimental and theoretical study shows that a chance of detaching spin-up or spin-down electron from an atom can be very different.

Physicists Propose Applying Magnetic Fields to Fusion Plasmas can Control Instabilities

Physicists led by Gerrit Kramer at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have conducted simulations that suggest that applying magnetic fields to fusion plasmas can control instabilities known as Alfvén waves that can reduce the efficiency of fusion reactions.

Data from NASA's Van Allen Probes Help Scientists Study Complex Environment Around the Earth

Our planet is nestled in the center of two immense, concentric doughnuts of powerful radiation: the Van Allen radiation belts, which harbor swarms of charged particles that are trapped by Earth’s magnetic field.

Recent Findings Help UCI Researchers Confirm Evidence of Fifth Fundamental Force of Nature

Recent findings indicating the possible discovery of a previously unknown subatomic particle may be evidence of a fifth fundamental force of nature, according to a paper published in the journal Physical Review Letters by theoretical physicists at the University of California, Irvine.

Scientists Study Properties of Young Brown Dwarfs to Investigate Planet Ageing Process

Brown dwarfs are smaller than stars, but more massive than giant planets. As such, they provide a natural link between astronomy and planetary science. However, they also show incredible variation when it comes to size, temperature, chemistry, and more, which makes them difficult to understand, too.

China’s Launches Quantum Satellite with 'Hack-Proof' Potential

On Tuesday August 16, 2016, China successfully launched the first-ever quantum hack-proof satellite that could establish secure communications between the ground and space. The new satellite is integrated with security features to avert potential intercepts and wiretapping.

Physicists Find Deuteron is Smaller than Previously Thought

The deuteron — one of the simplest atomic nuclei, consisting of just one proton and one neutron — is considerably smaller than previously thought. This finding was arrived at by an international research group that carried out experiments at the Paul Scherrer Institute, PSI.
