Ames Laboratory: Fundamental Research Improves Understanding of Optical Materials
AMES, Iowa, Sept. 21 (TNSjou) -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory issued the following news release: Research into the synthesis of new materials could lead to more sustainable and environmentally friendly items such as solar panels and light emitting diodes (LEDs). Scientists from Ames National Laboratory and Iowa State University developed a colloidal synthesis method for alkaline earth chalcogenides. This method allows them to control the size of the nanocrystals in the materi  more

LLNL-Led Paper Reveals Spacecraft Geometry Effects on Impact Simulations for NASA's DART Mission
LIVERMORE, California, Sept. 21 (TNSjou) -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory issued the following news release: NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft will crash into asteroid Dimorphos on Sept. 26, executing the first asteroid deflection test that has been years in the planning. Dimorphos, at 150 meters across, is the "moonlet" of a binary asteroid system, orbiting the larger companion asteroid, Didymos (800 meters). The momentum of the  more
