Researchers in Finland have experimentally realized a long-predicted class of quantum material: a two-dimensional topological crystalline insulator.

Using the advanced capabilities of the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB), researchers have directly measured a key nuclear reaction involving the radioactive isotope arsenic-73. By accelerating this rare isotope and directing it into a hydrogen target, the team was able to observe proton capture leading to the formation of selenium-74. Credit: Shutterstock

Researchers have proposed a new type of quantum system built from “giant superatoms,” combining two previously separate quantum concepts to address one of the field’s biggest challenges: decoherence. Credit: Shutterstock

Scientists map four submarine canyons and collect critical data on how underwater currents interact with the canyons, providing insights into the physical and chemical dynamics that support rich biodiversity in Argentina’s waters.

The heat wave could further lower water availability in the region, which has seen staggeringly low levels of snowpack this year.

New research shows the carbon absorbed by the Everglades is equal to 10 percent of the emissions coming from Florida roadways, but the watershed’s methane emissions complicate the picture.

Assistant Professor Matthew Jones is working to decode molecular processes on the genetic, epigenetic, and microenvironment levels to anticipate how and when tumors evolve to resist treatment.
