Major milestone alert! 🚀 Our nuclear structure researchers have completed construction of the Gamma-Ray Energy Tracking Array (GRETA), a cutting-edge detector that will revolutionize our understanding of atomic nuclei . Read all about it: https://loom.ly/yFY_By8 📷: Marilyn Sargent / Berkeley Lab
🚀 @LBNL’s Shujie Li & John Arrington observed 3-nucleon short-range correlations at @JeffersonLab’s CEBAF using light nuclei to bypass energy limits. This breakthrough not only fills gaps in high-momentum nucleon behavior but will also refine #NeutronStar models. 👏
Breakthrough Published today in Nature! 🚨 Scientists at Berkeley Lab's 88-Inch Cyclotron have made a huge step forward atom-at-a-time chemistry! Read more : https://loom.ly/WwsjWjs 📷: Marilyn Sargent / Berkeley Lab
