A University of Florida scientist has developed a fertilizer for palm trees that should keep them healthy and reduce water pollution..

Collective, fast diffusion observed by Ames Laboratory team could represent a new way to grow perfect, tiny metal nanostructures.

Earlier on April 5, the world’s most powerful particle accelerator began its second act. After two years of upgrades and repairs, proton beams once again circulated around the Large Hadron Collider, located at the CERN laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland.

The National Science Foundation has awarded the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves $14.5 million over a five-year period to create and operate a Physics Frontiers Center aimed at using radio timing observations of pulsars with the Green Bank Telescope and Arecibo Observatory to detect and study low-frequency gravitational waves.

The newest particle accelerators and those of the future will be built with superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities, and institutions around the world are working hard to develop this technology. Fermilab's advanced superconducting test accelerator was built to take advantage of SRF technology accelerator research and development.
