Supercomputers Provide New Window Into the Life and Death of a Neutron

Image - In this illustration, the grid in the background represents the computational lattice that theoretical physicists used to calculate a particle property known as nucleon axial coupling. This property determines how a W boson (white wavy line) interacts with one of the quarks in a neutron (large transparent sphere in foreground), emitting an electron (large arrow) and antineutrino (dotted arrow) in a process called beta decay. This process transforms the neutron into a proton (distant transparent sphere). (Credit: Evan Berkowitz/Jülich Research Center, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory)

New Machine Learning Approach Could Accelerate Bioengineering

Graphene Layered With Magnetic Materials Could Drive Ultrathin Spintronics

Diamond ‘Spin-Off’ Tech Could Lead to Low-Cost Medical Imaging and Drug Discovery Tools

Photo - Microscopic images of diamond particles with nitrogen-vacancy defects. These samples, which exhibit a truncated octahedral shape, were used in experiments that sought new ways to tune and control an electronic property known as spin polarization. The scale bar at lower right is 200 microns (millionths of an inch). To the human eye, the pinkish diamonds resemble fine red sand. (Credit: Berkeley Lab, UC Berkeley)

Planck Collaboration Wins 2018 Gruber Cosmology Prize

Image - A visualization of the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background, or CMB, as detected by ESA's Planck satellite over the entire sky. A small fraction of the CMB is polarized, meaning it vibrates in a preferred direction. In this image, the color scale represents temperature differences in the universe’s cosmic microwave background, while the texture indicates the direction of the polarized light.
