Berkeley Lab is Key Player in Creating Sanford Underground Lab and Operating Dark Matter and Neutrino Experiments

The Black Hills region in western South Dakota is known for its rich stores of gold and silver. In fact, 41 million ounces of gold and 9 million ounces of silver were pulled from Homestake Mine in Lead, SD between the 1870s and early 2000s. During that time, 370 miles of mine tunnels were created, reaching depths of 8,000 feet.

Many-Body Localized State Observed Using Ultracold Atoms Trapped in Light Crystals

Using ultracold atoms trapped in light crystals, scientists from the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich, the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, and the Weizmann Institute observe a novel state of matter that never thermalizes.

Spitzer Space Telescope Confirms Discovery of Nearest Rocky Planet

Using NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, astronomers have confirmed the discovery of the nearest rocky planet outside our solar system, larger than Earth and a potential gold mine of science data.

Brown Dwarfs Successfully Create Powerful Auroral Displays

Mysterious objects called brown dwarfs are sometimes called "failed stars." They are too small to fuse hydrogen in their cores, the way most stars do, but also too large to be classified as planets. But a new study in the journal Nature suggests they succeed in creating powerful auroral displays, similar to the kind seen around the magnetic poles on Earth.

A Third of the Stars in the Milky Way Have Dramatically Changed Their Obits

New Mexico State University researchers are part of a team of scientists with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) who created a new map of the Milky Way that shows nearly a third of the stars have dramatically changed their obits.

ASG Superconductors Awarded €50 Million Contract to Build Magnets for GSI

After the magnets for CERN and those being built for the ITER project the company owned by the Malacalza family will build 33 superconducting multiplets, worth EUR 50 million, for the Super Fragment Separator experiment, which forms part of the FAIR project to study fundamental research questions like the structure and properties of atomic nuclei with extreme neutron excess or deficiency.

Earth's Magnetic Field Far Older than Believed

Since 2010, the best estimate of the age of Earth's magnetic field has been 3.45 billion years. But now a researcher responsible for that finding has new data showing the magnetic field is far older.

Intense Winds from Hot Stars and Energetic Star Formation fill the Lagoon Nebula

Some of the most breathtaking views in the Universe are created by nebulae - hot, glowing clouds of gas. This new NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image shows the centre of the Lagoon Nebula, an object with a deceptively tranquil name. The region is filled with intense winds from hot stars, churning funnels of gas, and energetic star formation, all embedded within an intricate haze of gas and pitch-dark dust.
