No one really knows what happens inside an atom. But two competing groups of scientists think they’ve figured it out. And both are racing to prove that their own vision is correct.
Through a collaboration with DOE’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, Argonne is supplying the first eight of 116 superconducting cavities that will create a stream of neutrinos for Fermilab’s Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE).
Getting reliable precipitation data from the past has proven difficult, as is predicting regional changes for climate models in the present. A combination of isotope techniques developed by researchers at Argonne and UChicago may help resolve both.
Argonne was recently named a historic physics site by the American Physical Society in recognition of the groundbreaking work of former Argonne physicist and Nobel laureate Maria Goeppert Mayer.
In a study published in the American Physical Society, the superallowed α decay chain 108Xe-104Te-100Sn into the self-conjugate doubly magic 100Sn nucleus was observed.
Argonne celebrates National Cat Day by highlighting the scientific prowess of the laboratory’s CATS — Collaborative Access Teams and the Center for Accelerator Target Science, that is.
