The experiment’s detectors have reached their operating temperature, almost a thousand times colder than outer space.

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.
