Tiny Cavitation Bubbles Enhance Energy Conversion in Fuel Injectors’ Jets
Department of Energy, Office of Science

Scientists have a limited understanding of the effects of cavitation in microscopic devices. In this research, scientists took high-speed images of microscale cavitating fuel jets to understand the motion of liquid jets from high-pressure fuel injectors like those used in vehicle engines. Analysis of the results showed that cavitation enhances the energy conversion efficiency of the fuel injection.

Smoother Surfaces Make for Better Particle Accelerators
Department of Energy, Office of Science

A new toolkit helps researchers build optimal superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) cavities that form the backbone of advanced particle accelerators. The cavities’ cleanliness, shape, and roughness of their inner surfaces contribute to their efficiency. In tests of the toolkit, scientists found that smoother cavities function more efficiently.

Magnifying Deep Space Through the “Carousel Lens”
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

A newly discovered cluster-scale strong gravitational lens, with a rare alignment of seven background lensed galaxies, provides a unique opportunity to study cosmology.

Newswise: Constriction Junction, Do You Function?
Released: 18-Sep-2024 5:00 AM EDT
Constriction Junction, Do You Function?
Brookhaven National Laboratory

Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have shown that a type of qubit whose architecture is more amenable to mass production can perform comparably to qubits currently dominating the field.

Newswise: Mapping Out Matter’s Building Blocks in 3D
Released: 17-Sep-2024 3:30 PM EDT
Mapping Out Matter’s Building Blocks in 3D
Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility

Deep inside what we perceive as solid matter, the landscape is anything but stationary. The interior of the building blocks of the atom’s nucleus — particles called hadrons that most of us would recognize as protons and neutrons — are made up of a seething mixture of interacting quarks and gluons, known collectively as partons. The HadStruc collaboration has now come together to map out these partons and disentangle how they interact to form hadrons. Their latest findings were recently published in the Journal of High Energy Physics.

Newswise: AI Enhances Plasma Plume Analysis
Released: 17-Sep-2024 9:05 AM EDT
AI Enhances Plasma Plume Analysis
Oak Ridge National Laboratory

In a game-changing study, Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientists developed a deep learning model — a type of artificial intelligence that mimics human brain function — to analyze high-speed videos of plasma plumes during a process called pulsed laser deposition, or PLD.
