The U.S. Department of Energy has selected the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory to receive two prestigious Microelectronics Science Research Center. The DOE program leading to these awards originated from the CHIPS and Science Act. Yevgeny Raitses will lead efforts to incorporate 2D materials into next-generation semiconductors, while Alastair Stacey will research diamond materials for sensors that need to work in harsh environments. These awards underscore PPPL’s expertise in plasma, which is a key part of making microelectronics and the highest quality, lab-grown diamond.

A new generation of microelectronics research begins at PNNL.

A groundbreaking study led by Prof. Omar S. Magaña-Loaiza and his team at the Quantum Photonics Laboratory from LSU has unveiled a remarkable breakthrough in understanding the quantum and classical worlds. Published in PhotoniX, the study demonstrates the isolation of quantum many-body systems from classical light fields, revealing quantum behaviors in a seemingly classical domain.

Scientists have performed computer simulations confirming a technique that prevents the production of unhelpful electromagnetic waves, boosting the heat put into fusion plasma.

String theory remains elusive as a “provable” phenomenon. But a team of physicists has now taken a significant step forward in validating string theory by using an innovative mathematical method that points to its “inevitability.”

In an invited Tansley Review, CABBI researchers discuss strategies to increase Rubisco content as part of short- and long-term efforts to meet the growing global food demand.
