Theorists' hydrodynamic flow calculations accurately describe data from collisions of photons with lead nuclei at the ATLAS experiment.
Suppression of a telltale sign of quark-gluon interactions indicates gluon recombination in dense walls of gluons.
Quantum interference between dissimilar particles offers new approach for mapping gluons in nuclei, and potentially harnessing entanglement.
Physicists show that black holes and dense state of gluons—the “glue” particles that hold nuclear matter together—share common features.
Plasma simulations, theory, and comparison with experiment show that resistive wall tearing mode can cause energy loss in tokamaks.
The mixed metal waste common to industrial dumping sites causes metabolic stress in bacterial iron metabolism that cannot be explained by additive single metal exposure.
Experiment shows that even large, old, and presumably stable stores of soil carbon are vulnerable to warming and could amplify climate change.
Understanding how methanogenic bacteria can “bio-mine” minerals advances biotechnology and helps scientists understand the Earth’s geological history.
Powerful statistical tools, simulations, and supercomputers explore a billion different nuclear forces and predict properties of the very-heavy lead-208 nucleus.
In conflict with a long-held explanation of cadmium isotope motion, a new experiment found that cadmium-106 may rotate instead of vibrate.
Interfaces made by stacking certain complex oxide materials can tune the quantum interactions between electrons, yielding exotic spin textures.
Researchers detect an exotic electron phase called Wigner crystal in tungsten diselenide/tungsten disulfide moiré superlattices.
