New DESI Results Strengthen Hints That Dark Energy May Evolve

A long-exposure image captures circular star trails above telescope domes illuminated in red light on a dark mountain. A golden glow on the horizon marks distant city lights.

Scientists Discover New Heavy-Metal Molecule ‘Berkelocene’

The purple/blue solution contains crystals of the berkelocene “sandwich.”

A New Way to Engineer Composite Materials

Silica nanoparticles affixed with a distribution of polystyrene chains (purple) self-assemble into hexagonal lattices. Depending on how the chains are organized on the particle surface, they tangle together (purple) or unravel (blue) when compressed.

Small But Mighty: TESSERACT Joins the Hunt for Dark Matter

Two researchers stand in a laboratory, with one holding the TESSERACT detector with gloved hands.
