First-Person Science: Kawtar Hafidi on the Proton's Structure
DOE/US Department of Energy
When Kawtar Hafidi first started researching the structure of the proton, other scientists told her the project she proposed was impossible. Now she and the scientists she's trained are pursuing the next generation of that "impossible" experiment.

Tiny tunable terahertz lasers ready to fly in space
DOE/US Department of Energy
Researchers have achieved a tiny laser that operates in the terahertz frequencies for potential applications in imaging and scanning applications. Previous terahertz lasers required bulky laboratory equipment to stay cool enough to function. The new devices are the first to simultaneously reach three key performance goals--high power, tight beam, and broad frequency tuning--in a design that can work outside a laboratory and even in space.

New X-ray camera achieves new heights of precision and accuracy for better experiments
DOE/US Department of Energy
Scientists use incredibly bright and fast pulses of X-rays produced by an X-ray free electron laser to study some of the fastest reactions and processes in materials. Scientists recently developed a new X-ray imager with much greater precision and accuracy than possible before. The new levels are less than one hundredth of an X-ray wavelength, even smaller than an Angstrom.

Daniel Fredrickson: Then and now / 2010 Early Career Award winner
DOE/US Department of Energy
Daniel Frederickson, a professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is studying metallics to develop strategies for creating new materials able to merge different functional domains at the nanometer scale.

Mass identification confirms production of a new isotope of mendelevium
DOE/US Department of Energy
Neighboring isotopes of the heaviest elements often have very similar properties. To differentiate these isotopes by their differing masses, scientists use a device called FIONA (For the Identification of Nuclide A) to measure the masses of heavy-element isotopes. For the first time, scientists have used FIONA to discover a new heavy-element isotope, mendelevium-244.
