Sometimes a twist is all it takes to create a new field of research. Stacking 2D materials on top of each other and twisting them slightly results in unusual electronic properties.
Eva Andrei @RutgersU recently won @KavliPrize for this discovery: energy.gov/science/articles/…

An atlas is used to understand geography, but the ATLAS DOE Office of Science User Facility @argonne is used to understand the building blocks of the world—atomic nuclei.
For 40 years, this tool has provided incredible insights into nuclear structure: anl.gov/article/atlas-four-d…

You may have heard of "chestnuts roasting on an open fire," but have you ever seen a chestnut tree?
A blight killed billions of them in the early 1900s, but researchers @ORNL & @jgi are using genomics and biochemical profiling to help restore them: ornl.gov/news/ornl-plant-mic…

“This is something we haven't seen before in nature” - Rachael Kretsch @stanford. Using tools @SLACLab, she led a team that discovered beautiful complexes of RNA that didn’t have any proteins to support them. The work is giving new insights into RNA: www6.slac.stanford.edu/news/…

The @ENERGY Office of Science's facilities make our world-leading scientific research possible.
Join a virtual town hall on Sept. 17 to give input on the future of these facilities: web.cvent.com/event/581984eb…

A happy accident + curiosity = discovery, at least for Eva Andrei's team @RutgersU in 2009.
They found that 2D materials stacked with a twist resulted in new properties, creating the field of "twistronics" and earning Andrei a @KavliPrize in nanoscience: energy.gov/science/articles/…

The LUX-ZEPLIN dark matter detection experiment, supported by @ENERGY's Office of Science, has recorded a single particle interaction that researchers are having difficulty explaining with known background signals from normal matter.
Dark matter has never been directly detected.

A quantum system big enough to touch seems impossible, considering that quantum science studies subatomic items.
In 1985, a team @BerkeleyLab developed one, which is now the foundation for today's superconducting qubits: energy.gov/science/articles/…
