Vera C. Rubin Observatory’s fast-moving telescope and huge digital camera will illuminate the faint glow of free-floating stars within galaxy clusters, providing unprecedented insight into the evolution of these dynamic structures.
The 3.5-meter glass mirror is the first permanent component of the Simonyi Survey Telescope's state-of-the-art, wide-field optical system to be installed and will soon contribute to a better understanding of our Universe.
The new method allows better studies of valence electrons key to materials’ properties and could help unlock novel photocatalysts, light-switchable superconductors and other applications of the future.
NSF-DOE Rubin Observatory has issued its first scientific alerts, marking a historic milestone in astrophysics and kicking off a new era of dynamic, real-time observation of the night sky.
By instigating atomic disorder in lithium-ion battery materials, researchers created more stable materials that don’t expand, contract and degrade like traditional materials do.
Argonne, SLAC researchers designed a chip that compresses and processes detector data instantly, letting scientists analyze results and steer experiments as they happen.
