New Quantum Light Source Paves the Way to a Quantum Internet
Department of Energy, Office of Science

Researchers recently produced single-photon sources with operating wavelengths compatible with existing fiber communication networks using two-dimensional molybdenum ditelluride semiconductor layers on nano-size pillars.

Newswise: Whole Ecosystem Warming Stimulates Methane Production from Plant Metabolites in Peatlands

Whole Ecosystem Warming Stimulates Methane Production from Plant Metabolites in Peatlands
Department of Energy, Office of Science

While peatlands have historically stored massive amounts of soil carbon, warming is expected to enhance decomposition, leading to a positive climate change feedback effect. This study experimentally warmed peatlands in northern Minnesota and observed increased methane production relative to carbon dioxide release. This methane release process is likely to amplify global climate warming.

Scientists Measure Calcium Nuclei’s Thin Skin
Department of Energy, Office of Science

Scientists measuring the nucleus of calcium-48 to determine how its 20 protons and 28 neutrons are distributed inside its nucleus found that the protons and neutrons aren’t simply sprinkled throughout the nucleus. Instead, they form a neutron-rich “thin skin” around a core of evenly distributed protons and neutrons. This skin is thinner than many theoretical models predicted and not consistent with expectations based on recent observations of lead’s thick skin.

Q&A: Recycling electronic waste could be a golden opportunity
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

By 2033, more than 1 billion laptops, cellphones, and other electronic devices could be entering the U.S. waste stream each year. However, with better end-of-life management, new Berkeley Lab research shows electronic waste could also represent a source of valuable metals, namely gold, that could benefit the future economy by offsetting increasing demand for virgin mining.

Newswise: Big Data Analysis Powers the Fight Against Alzheimer’s

Big Data Analysis Powers the Fight Against Alzheimer’s
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

New research findings published in Science Advances (November 2022), help explain the progression of Alzheimer-related dementia in each patient. The findings outline a biological classification system that predicts disease severity.
