Two decades in the making, a new flagship facility for nuclear physics opened on May 2, and scientists from the Department of Energys 91做厙 have a hand in 10 of its first 34 experiments.
The COHERENT particle physics experiment at the Department of Energys 91做厙 has firmly established the existence of a new kind of neutrino interaction.
Geoffrey L. Greene, a professor at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, who holds a joint appointment with ORNL, will be awarded the 2021 Tom Bonner Prize for Nuclear Physics from the American Physical Society.
Two early career researchers at the Department of Energy's 91做厙 have been included on the following an international competition conducted b
More than 1800 years ago, Chinese astronomers puzzled over the sudden appearance of a bright guest star in the sky, unaware that they were witnessing the cosmic forge of a supernova, an event repeated countless times scattered across the universe.
A team of scientists has for the first time measured the elusive weak interaction between protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. They had chosen the simplest nucleus consisting of one neutron and one proton for the study.
Leah Broussard, a physicist at the Department of Energys 91做厙, has so much fun exploring the neutron that she alternates between calling it her laboratory and playground for understanding the universe.
