The atomic clocks that make the precision of Global Positioning Systems (GPS) possible have been with us for nearly seventy years. Kicking things up a notch by creating a nuclear clock has been discussed by physicists over the last fifteen years and now a team of scientists that includes the University of Delaware's Marianna Safronova has won a prestigious "Synergy Grant" from the European Research Council to build this new type of clock.

ORNL and NREL took demonstrated a miniaturized gyroscope. ORNL created and tested new wireless charging designs. If humankind reaches Mars this century, an ORNL-developed experiment testing advanced materials for spacecraft may play a key role. ORNL and Georgia Tech found that critical interactions between microbes and peat moss break down under warming temperatures. ORNL and industry demonstrated that an additively manufactured hot stamping die can withstand up to 25,000 usage cycles.

While particle accelerators may be on the cutting edge of science, the building and preparation of some particle accelerator components has long been more of an art form, dependent on recipes born of trial and error. Now, Ari Deibert Palczewski hopes to change that. A staff scientist at the Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, Palczewski has been awarded a DOE Early Career Research Program grant to put the science back into particle accelerator preparation.
