U.S. federal agency funding basic scientific research, overseeing national laboratories and major facilities in physics, energy, and computing.
Lawrence Livermore's CHICOX counter ran nine experiments on 13 nuclei at Argonne's ATLAS facility in its first campaign. Its builders say the data can test predictive models of nuclear shape, though the paper published so far describes the instrument itself.

STAR's proxy for temperature swings between gold-gold collisions stops falling and turns back up at the bottom of RHIC's energy range, a result now fixed in a dataset the collider finished taking in 2026.

The Quantum Genesis Q Competition asks companies for machines that run hundreds of millions of fault-tolerant operations on at least 100 logical qubits, and $200 million of the $215 million sits in prize pools.

Oak Ridge researchers report memristance and memcapacitance in the same model membrane, which turns lipid chemistry into a hardware design variable rather than biological background.
Reality
A Science paper from RHIC's STAR detector backs a 1996 proposal that a Y-shaped gluon junction carries baryon number. The collider stopped running in early 2026, so the dataset is closed.
