Studies show that both humans and dogs release oxytocin, the 'love hormone,' during interactions with each other. This reinforces the sentiment: 'A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.' 🌟

Critical geometry sounds like a cranky triangle, but it's a chemistry term. It's how molecules in an atom are arranged as they go from reactants to reaction products. Scientists SLAC took an image of one of these transition states. #ScienceNeverSleeps energy.gov/science/bes/ar…

Dark energy is the mysterious force that's accelerating how fast our universe is expanding. While the 1st release of data from DESI Survey mostly matched up with current theory, there are hints that dark energy might be evolving, as covered in WIRED: wired.com/story/dark-ene…

It’s important to understand “how land use affects the climate at a neighborhood scale' - Katia Lamer Brookhaven Lab. She's the co-investigator on CoURAGE, an ARM News field campaign that is collecting data in Baltimore. #ClimateScienceSunday arm.gov/news/facility/…

Lambda particles are like protons & neutrons but contain strange quarks as well as up and down quarks. Physicists in the CLAS Collaboration found that in contrast to theoretical predictions, Lambdas sometimes result when virtual photons strike a nucleus: energy.gov/science/np/art…

Tantalum-180m could have a radioactive decay lifetime many times longer than the age of the universe. Researchers in the MAJORANA Collaboration are working SanfordLab to measure this decay and examining what it means for physics: energy.gov/science/np/art…

May the 4th ... May the ponderomotive* force be with you!

If a certain theorized nuclear process exists, it could provide the answer as to why there is matter at all. The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR SanfordLab didn't detect this process, but set the foundation for a larger experiment that may. #ScienceNeverSleeps energy.gov/science/np/art…

Sometimes you don't need a new technology - you just need to look at existing ones in a new way. To contain plasma for fusion, researchers PPPL combined 2 older technologies. This approach offers a promising path forward, as covered in Popular Mechanics: popularmechanics.com/science/a60620…

Paper #50 is an enzymologists dream come true!
Spectacular work from postdoc Rajnandani Kashyap in the group. Thanks DOE Office of Science for the unwavering support.
1. Ever wondered how enzymes allosterically communicate over 100 Angs?

2D materials could be game-changers in electronics, with their unique properties like superconductivity. But they're hard to control. University of Illinois researchers developed a way to observe how 2D materials rearrange themselves, which could expand their uses: mrl.illinois.edu/news/66189
