Detecting extreme magnetic fields in heavy-ion collisions
ResearchPeer-Reviewed Publication
Heavy-ion collisions involve the collision of positively charged nuclei of heavy elements at nearly the speed of light. These collisions create a special state of matter called the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), accompanied by intense magnetic fields, resembling the early universe. However, the evolution of these magnetic fields over time has been hard to track. In this study, researchers review the recent experimental efforts to study the time-dependent evolution of magnetic fields generated in these collisions.

Greenhouse gas accounting procedures in low carbon fuel policies overlook the spatial variability of miscanthus-derived sustainable aviation fuel
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Institute for Sustainability, Energy, and EnvironmentLow carbon fuel policies are intended to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from transportation. However, rigid carbon intensity (CI) accounting procedures in current policies may limit CI responsiveness across candidate sites and facilities. This study examines how low carbon fuel programs capture or overlook spatial variability and net electricity production in biofuel carbon intensity, influencing crediting outcomes and fuel selling prices.
