After more than a year of operation at the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), the COHERENT experiment, using the world’s smallest neutrino detector, has found a big fingerprint of the elusive, electrically neutral parti
There's a problem with our understanding of the universe: We don't know why it has enough matter to make it interesting.
The Tennessee Higher Education Commission has approved a new doctoral program in data science and engineering as part of the Bredesen Center for Interdisciplinary Research and Graduate Education.
The Bredesen Center unites resources and capabilities from
A fusion reactor is essentially a magnetic bottle containing the same processes that occur in the sun. Deuterium and tritium fuels fuse to form a vapor of helium ions, neutrons and heat.
The recently discovered element 117 has been officially named "tennessine" in recognition of Tennessee’s contributions to its discovery, including the efforts of the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory and its Tennessee collaborators at Va
For many of us, the term “doubly magic” may evoke images of Penn & Teller.
The discovery of element 117—tennessine, as it has been provisionally named—was made possible by a collaboration of researchers in the United States and Russia.
Approximately 100 trillion neutrinos bombard your body every second—but you don’t notice these ghostly subatomic particles.
