These tools are part of a group of methods called effective field theory (EFT). EFT in turn is a type of approach called "ab initio," or "first principles." Ab initio means a calculation starts with ...

(Nanowerk News) One of the major road blocks to the design and development of new, more efficient solar cells may have been cleared. Researchers with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory ...

The J π =19/2-isomer in 53 Fe represents an extraordinary nuclear phenomenon which can directly decay to the ground state with a single photon with angular momentum of 6ℏ emitting. This E6 transition ...

Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have developed a 4D-STEM workflow that can isolate and solve atomic structures from individual nanocrystals buried inside dense, tangled clusters, ...

Top: protons striking a nucleus deflect from their original path depending on velocity, location of impact, and force from the protons inside the nucleus. Bottom: elastic proton scattering cross ...
