Quantum computers promise to solve "exponentially hard" problems, such as computing the structure of molecules, atoms, or atomic nuclei.
OAK RIDGE, Tenn., May 2, 2018—The search for a more energy efficient and environmentally friendly method of ammonia production for fertilizer has led to the discovery of a new type of catalytic reaction.
Researchers used neutron diffraction to map residual stress in stainless steel canisters that store spent nuclear fuel.
The Nab experiment is the next experiment to run on the Fundamental Neutron Physics Beamline (FnPB) at the Spallation Neutron Source.
The experiment will make precise measurements of the angular correlation between neutron beta-decay products, and the bet
New measurements of beta-decay properties of fission products (abundant in nuclear reactors) were performed in 2015 and 2016 at ORNL's Tandem laboratory using a Modular Total Absorption Spectrometer (MTAS).
A novel technique was used to determine a complete set of electromagnetic moments B(E2; 0+-2+), Q(2+), and g(2+) in single experiment.
The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR (MJD) experiment has been operating since Oct 2016 inside a clean room 4850 feet underground in the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, SD.
Commissioning of the second module of detectors in the MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR (MJD) has begun. In May 2016, the second and final full module containing 29 germanium detectors was turned on for commissioning.
The PROSPECT experiment is the search for the transformation of electron antineutrinos produced in a reactor into a new form of matter - sterile neutrinos.
