A new approach for measuring nuclear recoils in superconducting quantum sensors enables the first limits on sterile neutrinos from beryllium-7 decay.
Data from the first observation of a neutron-star collision combined with input from modern nuclear theory narrow the range of neutron star radii.
Experiments reveal the relationship between the density of matter and extreme pressure in stellar objects, putting constraints on models of white dwarf stars
A novel paradigm for pushing energy in a particle accelerator method could dramatically shrink future accelerators.
Scientists find the radioactive nucleus selenium-72 is football-shaped, answering a longstanding question about the nuclear shape of selenium isotopes.
The radii of three proton-rich calcium isotopes are smaller than previously predicted because models didn’t account for two nuclear interactions.

Widespread fracturing during lake drainage triggers vertical shafts to form that affect the Greenland Ice Sheet.
The mechanism responsible for creating intense magnetic fields in laser-driven plasmas also helps tear the fields apart.
A non-twisting laser beam moving through magnetized plasma turns into an optical vortex that traps, rotates, and controls microscopic particles, opening new frontiers in imaging.
New algorithm lets biologists harness massively parallel supercomputers to make sense of a “data deluge.”
First demonstration of high-pressure metastability mapping with ultrafast X-ray diffraction shows objects aren’t as large as previously thought.
Iron may be more valuable than platinum. Sometimes.
