Using a Nuclear Blast to Deflect an Asteroid: Different Neutron Energies Enhance Asteroid Deflection
A standoff detonation of a nuclear device irradiates an asteroid and deposits energy at and beneath the surface. In this work, two neutron yields (50…
Americans used 7 percent less energy in 2020 due in part to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2020 energy flow chart released by Lawrence Livermore National…
The Muon g-2 storage ring at Fermilab, where scientists conduct experiments to better understand the properties of the muon and probe the Standard Model of…
The long-awaited first results from the Muon g-2 experiment at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory show fundamental particles called muons behaving…

The illustration traces the path of the beam as it passes through the copper radio frequency quadrupole, the black dipole magnet, and the slitted measuring…
Lack of symmetry in qubits can’t fix errors in quantum computing, but might explain matter/antimatter imbalance. Unexpected twist in the Kibble-Zurek theory offers a new…
An artist’s conception of the magnetic fields of selected super-Earths as the Z machine, pictured at bottom, mimics the gravitational conditions on other planets. Planetary…
Through a tight coupling of experiment and theory, scientists showed at the atomic level how changes in the surface composition of a photoelectrode play a…
Researchers Develop Speedier Network Analysis to Boost Recommendation Algorithms and Internet Search
