The inside of giant planets can reach pressures more than one million times the Earth's atmosphere. As a result of that intense pressure, materials can adopt unexpected structures and properties.

The Hiroshima atomic bomb, with an explosive yield of 15 kilotons, would be considered a low-yield nuclear weapon by today’s standards. The largest nuclear weapon in the US arsenal has a yield of 1.2 ...

From a tiny sample of tissue no larger than a grain of sand, scientists have come within reach of a goal once thought unattainable: building a complete functional wiring diagram of a portion of the ...

Using a novel computational modeling technique to test theoretical quantum physics, a team of researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have discovered properties of the ...
