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/…

“I love experimental science. Going into a lab and not knowing what’s going to come out of it.” - Mary Danielson @ORNL & @UTKnoxville. Searching for new ways to break down plastic, she made a sticky chemical. Now it's being developed into an adhesive: energy.gov/science/articles/…

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/…

Replying to @doescience @ENERGY
Dark matter makes up ~85% of the universe's mass. While this result does not yet meet the statistical threshold required to claim a discovery, it's the most compelling hint reported by the experiment to date. 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/…
