Many interesting questions have been brought into focus with the observations of three perplexing objects.
The search for the neutron electric dipole moment (nEDM) provides a powerful probe of new physics in the CP violating sector.
We normally think of scintillators as materials which produce light, but what if light could also be used to produce these materials?
The element lithium has all kinds of uses on Earth: in lithium-ion batteries, in heat-resistant glass and ceramics, and in certain medications that psychiatrists prescribe.
We developed a new method, named subspace-projected coupled-cluster, that approximates ab-initio computations of nuclei.
A beam of radioactive 129Sb, traveling at 8% of the speed of light, was created at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and the scattering of the 129Sb nuclei from a titanium target was studied.
Scientists from ORNL and several Japanese laboratories have developed an experimental method for fast determination of the optimum heavy-ion beam energy for the synthesis of super heavy elements.
Ultra-relativistic collisions of heavy-ions are used to recreate and investigate the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP).
For decades, scientists have lacked a first-principles understanding of nuclear beta decay, in which protons convert into neutrons, or vice versa, to form other elements.
Quantum computers promise to solve "exponentially hard" problems, such as computing the structure of molecules, atoms, or atomic nuclei.
