14-Aug-2024 Making the atomic universe visible DOE/Argonne National Laboratory At Penn State and as a member of the Q-NEXT quantum research center, Nitin Samarth investigates atom-scale materials that could serve as the foundation for future quantum technologies.
13-Aug-2024 No power, no operator, no problem: Argonne test facility simulates nuclear reactors to explore next-generation nuclear safety systems DOE/Argonne National Laboratory Argonne’s Natural Convection Shutdown Heat Removal Test Facility enables large-scale experimental testing of nuclear reactors. The facility explores passive safety systems, which can cool a reactor without any human intervention or power.
12-Aug-2024 Laura Berzak Hopkins joins PPPL as new associate laboratory director for strategy and partnerships and deputy chief research officer DOE/Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory Seasoned national laboratory scientist and leader Laura Berzak Hopkins joins PPPL as its new associate laboratory director for strategy and partnerships and deputy chief research officer. She previously served as Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s (LLNL) associate program director for integrated weapon science, as well as Livermore’s deputy for assessment science to the DOE’s National Nuclear Security Administration’s (NNSA) Office of Experimental Sciences and Livermore’s funding manager for the weapon survivability program.
12-Aug-2024 DUNE scientists observe first neutrinos with prototype detector at Fermilab DOE/Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory The prototype of a novel particle detection system for the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment successfully recorded its first accelerator neutrinos, providing a first look at the ability of this innovative technology to handle large numbers of the mysterious particles’ interactions.
12-Aug-2024 Studying loss to make quantum computing gains DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory Scientists from Yale University and Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed a systematic approach to understanding how energy is lost from the materials that make up qubits. Energy loss inhibits the performance of these quantum computer building blocks, so determining its sources — and adjusting the materials as necessary — can help bring researchers closer to designing quantum computers that could revolutionize several scientific fields. With their new approach, the Yale scientists were able to design a compact device that could store quantum information for more than one millisecond. Journal Nature Communications
