NMSU Physicist Among Researchers That May Have Evidence of the Elusive Sterile Neutrino

A New Mexico State University professor is part of an international research team that recently released the results of an experiment that may support a theory for a fourth fundamental particle – the mysterious sterile neutrino that passes through matter without interacting with it.

YSU Professor, Students Conduct Research at Berkeley National Laboratory

Youngstown State University professor Alina Lazar and students Alexandra Ballow and Tyler Leibengood have been chosen to participate in a 10-week research program at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory on the campus of the University of California-Berkeley.

Researchers Discover How Caged Molecules 'Rattle and Sing'

A team of energy researchers from the University of Minnesota and University of Massachusetts Amherst has discovered that molecular motion can be predicted with high accuracy when confining molecules in small nanocages.

Two Stony Brook Researchers Receive Energy Frontier Research Center Awards Totaling $21.75M

Stony Brook University has received notification from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) that two proposals directed by SBU faculty to expand or develop Energy Frontier Research Centers (EFRCs) designed to accelerate scientific breakthroughs needed to strengthen U.S. economic leadership and energy security will receive funding totaling $21.75 million.

Project to Elucidate the Structure of Atomic Nuclei at the Femtoscale

The Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF), a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science User Facility, has selected 10 data science and machine learning projects for its Aurora Early Science Program (ESP).

BNL-Stony Brook Joint Outreach Exposes Young Women to Nanoscience

Opportunities to experience what scientists do were few and far between for Shruti Sharma while growing up in India. This lack of early exposure to hands-on science activities contributed to Sharma—now a fifth-year PhD candidate graduating this summer from the Department of Materials Science and Chemical Engineering in the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Stony Brook University and a guest researcher at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory—becoming involved in educational outreach.

Omer San Selected to Receive Early Career Research Funding

The Department of Energy (DOE) has selected Omer San, Oklahoma State University mechanical and aerospace engineering associate professor as one of 84 scientists from across the nation to receive significant funding for research as part of the DOE Office of Science’s Early Career Research Program.

Randles Selected to Help Pilot First U.S. Exascale Computer

Amanda Randles, the Alfred Winborne Mordecai and Victoria Stover Mordecai Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Duke University, is getting an early crack at using Aurora—the nation’s newest and largest supercomputer.

Northwestern Receives $15 Million for Department of Energy Frontier Research Centers

The two selected proposals from Northwestern, the Center for Bio-Inspired Energy Science (CBES) and the Center for Light Energy Activated Redox Processes (LEAP), were among 42 programs collectively funded for $100 million to accelerate scientific understanding in energy-relevant fields.
