Probing Neutron Star Crusts with Artificial Neural Networks
Department of Energy, Office of Science

The inner crust of a neutron star is characterized by the presence of a neutron superfluid. To accurately predict the properties of neutron matter in this state, researchers make theoretical calculations that typically assume that neutrons form “Cooper pairs.” This study used artificial neural networks to make accurate predictions without relying on this assumption.

How MSU Is Bringing Shipwrecked Seeds Back to Life
Michigan State University

In November 1878, the wooden schooner James R. Bentley set sail from Chicago bound for Buffalo loaded with a large shipment of rye. During the voyage, it encountered heavy seas and gale-force winds and struck a shoal near 40 Mile Point Lighthouse in Lake Huron just north of Rogers City. The damage was severe, and the ship sunk.
