Electron-capture supernovae (ECSNe) are stellar explosions that occur in stars with initial masses around 8–10 times that of the sun. These stars develop oxygen-neon-magnesium cores, which become ...

Adjusting experimental methods achieved the first "single-shot" diagnosis of electron acceleration through a laser wakefield accelerator along a curved trajectory, according to a recent study led by ...

Researchers at Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley have taken direct images of the Wigner molecular crystal, a new quantum phase of an electron solid. Wigner molecular crystals are important because they may ...
