A team of international experts has put the ITER final design of the neutral beam and Megavolt ITER Injector and Concept Advancement (MITICA) facility cryo-sorption pump under scrutiny in a thorough review.

The US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Ames Laboratory has announced that it will acquire a Dynamic Nuclear Polarization-NMR spectrometer, a giant step forward in the laboratory’s world-class solid state NMR capabilities.

On Tuesday, Nov. 12, Fermilab's Accelerator Division successfully cooled down Cryomodule 2, the first ILC-type cryomodule in which all component cavities were processed and tested in the United States, to a temperature of 2 kelvin.

The White House has announced that President Barack Obama intends to nominate MIT’s Marc Kastner to head the Department of Energy’s Office of Science, which manages much of the nation’s basic research on energy.

Dr. Naoya Shibata was presented the 2013 Sir Martin Wood Prize at the 2013 "Millennium Science Forum," organized by Oxford Instruments and held at the British Embassy in Tokyo on Wednesday, Nov. 13.

TeYu Chien, an assistant professor in the University of Wyoming’s Department of Physics and Astronomy, is the leading author of a recently published paper that settles a longtime debate about the relationship between superconductivity and magnetism.

Ben Mazin, assistant professor of physics at UC Santa Barbara, has developed a superconducting detector array that measures the energy of individual photons.

Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated a compact atomic clock design that relies on cold rubidium atoms instead of the usual hot atoms, a switch that promises improved precision and stability.

Scientists from Fermilab, Argonne and 13 other international institutions on the SeaQuest experiment are in good spirits now that the experiment has seen beam for the first time in more than a year.
