Theory provides roadmap in quest for quark soup 'critical point'

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

Thanks to a new development in nuclear physics theory, scientists exploring expanding fireballs that mimic the early universe have new signs to look for as they map out the transition from primordial plasma to matter as we know it.

Nanoscale 'conversations' create complex, multi-layered structures

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Scientists have developed a way to efficiently create scalable, multilayer, multi-patterned nanoscale structures with unprecedented complexity. The method introduces a significant leap in material intelligence, because each self-assembled layer guides the configuration of additional layers.
