Led by You Zhou, an assistant professor in UMD’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE), in collaboration with researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National
The scientific community has long been intrigued by the elusive nature of dark matter, which is believed to play a significant role in the motion of stars and galaxies. The prevailing hypothesis suggests that dark matter consists of particles that are incredibly weakly interacting. Researchers have conducted extensive experiments, such as the Majorana Demonstrator, to
X-ray bursts (XRBs) are powerful explosions that take place on the surface of a neutron star as it captures material from a nearby companion star. These explosions trigger a series of thermonuclear reactions that generate heavy chemical elements. A recent study published in Physical Review Letters delves into one specific reaction, the 22Mg(α,p)25Al reaction, shedding
Spintronic devices have revolutionized the world of data storage, communication, and computing by utilizing the spin of an electron rather than its charge to transfer information. Researchers from North Carolina State University and the University of Pittsburgh have delved into the intricate world of chiral materials to understand how spin information navigates through these unique
