Quantum networks could supercharge scientific research, quantum computing and secure communications, but scientists must first find ways to protect fragile “entangled” quantum states of photons — particles of light — as they zip through optical fibers. NIST researchers and their…

Nearly 300 projects selected from historic RFA response spanning all 50 states to accelerate breakthroughs in energy, discovery science, and national security. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced the first projects selected under the Genesis Mission Request for…

The Department of War is a dedicated partner in the Genesis Mission, a national effort to leverage artificial intelligence to accelerate scientific discovery. Led by the White House, the Department is committing substantial resources and technical expertise to its success.…

Multi-laboratory achievement yields critical isotopes at least 100x more depleted of contaminants than any commercial source worldwide, accelerating the goals of the historic Genesis Mission. The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Isotope R&D and Production (IRP), within the…

The Office of Isotope R&D and Production has re-established and revolutionized its domestic stable isotope enrichment capabilities at ORNL. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science’s Isotope R&D and Production (IRP) program has re-established and revolutionized its domestic…

DOE and DOC collaborate to recover radium-226 (Ra-226), strengthening the domestic supply of a critical material needed for new cutting-edge cancer therapy. Securing a domestic supply of radium-226 (Ra-226) is a strategic priority for the United States, and a new…

Earlier this year, the Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) and its strategic partners brought new technologies to Santa Clara, California, to secure Super Bowl LX and the NFL Honors event. Take a behind-the-scenes look at how the Ready Armor Protection…

By Space Force 2nd Lt. Christian Malaniak, Space Launch Delta 45 Yesterday evening, NASA's Artemis II mission successfully launched from the Eastern Range at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida, with four astronauts bound for lunar orbit. This historic moment…

The University of Missouri Research Reactor is now the only domestic supplier of gadolinium-153 through a new agreement with the Department of Energy. The Department of Energy’s Office of Isotope R&D and Production (IRP), within the Office of Science, and…

AZGFD research provides better understanding of mountain lion ecology Across North America, agencies responsible for the conservation and management of native mammals, including large carnivores, use science-based tools to manage wildlife populations, human-wildlife conflicts, and for reasons of human safety…

The Air Force Research Laboratory and an aerospace technology and defense systems contractor recently flew the Affordable Rapid Missile Demonstrator, powered by the Draper liquid rocket engine, achieving supersonic speeds and demonstrating key concepts of operations. This flight is an…

About eight minutes after Artemis II lifts off, the Orion spacecraft and its crew, NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, along with CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen, will be in space. The approximately 10-day test…
