UrduBuilding on nearly 15 years of research, physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility are exploring magnetrons as the drivers of modern particle accelerators. This could lower the carbon footprint of these energy-hungry machines and help them benefit society far beyond the realm of scientific research.

New NOvA results add to mystery of neutrinos
The international collaboration presented their first results with new data in four years, featuring a new low-energy sample of electron neutrinos and a dataset doubled in size.
MOLLER Experiment Baselined and Moving Forward
The MOLLER experiment has received Critical Decision 2 “Approve Performance Baseline” and Critical Decision 3 “Approve Start of Construction” from the Department of Energy, which provides clearance to move forward with all procurements and equipment construction.
Altermagnetism proves its place on the magnetic family tree
Experiments at the Swiss Light Source SLS prove the existence of a new type of magnetism, with broad implications for technology and research.
Phonon engineering in Yb:La2CaB10O19 crystal for extended lasing beyond the fluorescence spectrum
The direct lasing outside the fluorescence spectrum is deemed impossible owing to the ‘zero-gain’ cross-section.
Critical Decision-3A Clears Way Toward Standard Model Test
The U.S. Department of Energy has given the greenlight for the MOLLER experiment to begin procurement of key components with its granting of Critical Decision-3A (CD-3A): Approve Long Lead Procurements. The determination allows the MOLLER project at Jefferson Lab to begin spending $9.14 million for long-lead procurements of critical items for which designs are complete. The MOLLER collaboration formed in 2006, and more than 100 physicists from more than 30 institutions are now involved. MOLLER will make a measurement of the electron’s weak charge that is five times more precise than any before. The electron’s weak charge is essentially how much influence the weak force exerts on the electron.
Electric Vehicle Batteries Could Get Big Boost With New Polymer Coating
Scientists at Berkeley Lab have developed a polymer coating that could enable longer lasting, more powerful lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles. The advance opens up a new approach to developing EV batteries that are more affordable and yet easy to manufacture.
Rensselaer Researchers Learn to Control Electron Spin at Room Temperature To Make Devices More Efficient and Faster
As our devices become smaller, faster, more energy efficient, and capable of holding larger amounts of data, spintronics may continue that trajectory. Whereas electronics is based on the flow of electrons, spintronics is based on the spin of electrons.
Partnership Contributes Toward Sharp Eyes for MOLLER Experiment
Thirteen universities working on a new experiment to be carried out at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility have recently been awarded new grants totaling more than $9 million. The grants come from the National Science Foundation and the Canadian Foundation for Innovation, with a matching award for the CFI grant from Research Manitoba. The grants benefit the Measurement of a Lepton-Lepton Electroweak Reaction Experiment, called MOLLER.
