44th Lunar and Planetary Science ConferenceLos Alamos science sleuth on the trail of a Martian mystery When it comes to examining the surface of rocks on Mars with a high-powered laser, five is a magic number for Los Alamos National Laboratory postdoctoral researcher Nina Lanza. During the 44th Annual Lunar and Planetary Science Conference, Lanza described how the laser-shooting ChemCam instrument aboard the Curiosity rover has shown what appears to be a common feature on the surface of some very different Martian rocks.

Nature PhysicsSurprising control over photoelectrons from a topological insulator Electrons flowing swiftly across the surface of topological insulators (TIs) are "spin polarized," their spin and momentum locked. The potential to control electron distribution in spintronic devices makes TIs a hot topic in materials science. Now scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have discovered another useful surprise.

ScienceLong predicted atomic collapse state observed in graphene Seventy years ago theorists predicted superlarge nuclei would exhibit a quantum-mechanical phenomenon known as "atomic collapse." Recently materials scientists calculated that highly-charged impurities in graphene should exhibit a corresponding buildup of electrons partially localized in space and energy -- a unique electronic resonance. By constructing artificial superlarge nuclei on graphene, researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have achieved the first experimental observation of long-sought atomic collapse, with important implications for the future of graphene-based electronic devices.

Nature CommunicationsIn probing mysteries of glass, researchers find a key to toughness Glass doesn't have to be brittle. Scientists propose a way of predicting whether a given glass will be brittle or ductile -- a property typically associated with metals like steel or aluminum -- and assert that any glass could have either quality.
