Simulations show a path to 'ideal glass' with crystal-like entropy

The types of glass that we encounter in everyday life, such as window glass or smartphone screens, are disordered solids. This means that they consist of particles locked in place, like those in ...

The U.S.’s Only Particle Collider Recreated Moments From the Early Universe. Now, It Has Closed—to Make Way for a New Instrument

The particle collider smashes together atomic nuclei—comprised of particles called protons and neutrons—to break them into their smaller components. Tiffany Bowman / Brookhaven National Laboratory For ...
