Teasing Strange Matter from Ordinary
Department of Energy, Office of Science

Like protons and neutrons, Lambda particles consist of three quarks bound together by gluons. But unlike protons and neutrons, which contain a mixture of up and down quarks, Lambdas also contain a strange quark.

Sustainable biomass production capacity could triple US bioeconomy, report finds
Oak Ridge National Laboratory

The United States could triple its current bioeconomy by producing more than 1 billion tons per year of plant-based biomass for renewable fuels, while meeting projected demands for food, feed, fiber, conventional forest products and exports, according to the Department of Energy’s latest Billion-Ton Report led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

Searching for the Decay of Nature’s Rarest Isotope: Tantalum-180m
Department of Energy, Office of Science

The tantalum isotope, Ta-180m, is found naturally in a long-lived excited state. However, the radioactive decay of this excited state in Ta-180m has never been observed.

It’s Hearty, It’s Meaty, It’s Mold
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

Fungi naturally produce all the ingredients needed for a cruelty-free meat substitute. Our scientists are exploring how tuning the genomes of mushrooms and molds can transform these food sources into gourmet, nutrient-packed meals made with minimal processing and a light environmental footprint.

Scientists use novel technique to create new energy-efficient microelectronic device
Argonne National Laboratory

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory have created a new material that uses “redox gating” to control the movement of electrons in and out of a semiconducting material.

Cracking the Quantum Code: Simulations Track Entangled Quarks
Brookhaven National Laboratory

Theorists and computational scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory and Stony Brook University (SBU) ran a series of quantum simulations to explore one of the quirkiest features of the quantum realm: entanglement. The study takes quantum back to its roots in seeking to explain the behavior of subatomic particles.

Staying in the Loop: How Superconductors Are Helping Computers “Remember”
University of California San Diego

To advance neuromorphic computing, some researchers are looking at analog improvements--advancing not just software, but hardware too. Research from the UC San Diego and UC Riverside shows a promising new way to store and transmit information using disordered superconducting loops.
