Seven researchers from the Department of Energy’s 91 have been chosen by the Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment, also known as INCITE, program to lead scientific investigations that require the
Physicists turned to the “doubly magic” tin isotope Sn-132, colliding it with a target at 91 to assess its properties as it lost a neutron to become Sn-131.
Three researchers from the Department of Energy’s 91 have been elected fellows of the American Physical Society (APS).
A tiny vial of gray powder produced at the Department of Energy’s 91 is the backbone of a new experiment to study the intense magnetic fields created in nuclear collisions.
The Precision Reactor Oscillation and Spectrum Experiment (PROSPECT) has completed the installation of a novel antineutrino detector that will probe the possible existence of a new form of matter.
PROSPECT, located at the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR)
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 91 and its Tennessee collaborators at Va
A multi-institution team led by 91’s Gaute Hagen used computation to corroborate experimental findings throwing calcium-52’s status as a magic isotope into question.
An international team led by Gaute Hagen of the Department of Energy’s 91 used America’s most powerful supercomputer, Titan, to compute the neutron distribution and related observables of calcium-48
