DOE NATIONAL LABORATORY:
AMES
LABORATORY
At the forefront of current materials research, high-performance
computing, and environmental science and management efforts, the
Laboratory seeks solutions to energy-related problems through
the exploration of physics, chemistry, engineering, applied mathematics
and materials sciences. Established in the 1940s with the successful
development of the most efficient process to produce high-purity
uranium metal for atomic energy, the Lab now pursues a broad range
of scientific priorities.

Project Neptune: Specialized gas detection for nonproliferation
Sandia National Laboratories' Project Neptune aims to design a system capable of sensing, from among the loud signals of a lot of gases, the weak signals from specific gases that are signs of nuclear proliferation. The researchers believe their gas correlation technique will prove ideal for a simple, inexpensive sensor to monitor those few illusive gases.

The curious case of germanium-72
Physicists from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the University of Tennessee, and Germany's GSI in Darmstadt recently used ORNL's Jaguar supercomputer to explore the pair bonding of neutrons in one uncommon isotope -- germanium-72. In doing so they discovered that changes in temperature and rotation take the nucleus through at least two physical phases.
