“We provided irrefutable proof that we could make the quark-gluon plasma in the laboratory. That’s a big deal, because that’s re-creating the Big Bang in a little bang.” – Barbara Jacak, Berkeley Lab nuclear physicist who worked on RHIC’s PHENIX particle detector

An experiment that scattered high-energy electrons from helium-3 and tritium nuclei has provided the first evidence for three-nucleon short-range correlations. 💡⚛️ ow.ly/SYug50WANrq

Atomic split decision! One big nucleus splits into smaller ones, releasing a TON of energy! Mind. Blown. 🤯#NuclearReactions #Fission #Science

Did you know that for a new element to be considered officially discovered, it needs to live for at least 10^-14 seconds? 🤯 That's only 0.00000000000001 seconds! ⏱️ Mind blown? 💥 #newelements #physics #discovery #nuclearscience

Element crush alert! Jacklyn Gates can't get enough of Mc (Z=115)! But what's behind the fascination? Is it the element's mysterious properties or something more... out of this world?👽

Researchers have made significant progress in tackling one of the toughest problems in nuclear physics: predicting the shape of a deformed nucleus based on the interactions among its constituent protons and neutrons.

Congratulations to Lab scientists Raúl Briceño, Stefan Wild, and Ahmet Kusoglu for receiving the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE), the highest honor the US government bestows on early-career scientists and engineers. 🧪
