Solving the Mystifying Spin Structure of the Nucleon

Alexandre Deur has spent his career studying the mystifying spin structure of the nucleon - which is also one of the primary missions of the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, where Deur has been a staff scientist for nearly 20 years.

Uncovering the Evolution of Stars

A group of astrophysicists from the University of Vienna led by Núria Miret-Roig discovered that two approaches to estimating a star’s age measure distinct things: Thus, isochronous measurement establishes the star’s birthdate, whereas dynamical monitoring informs when stars in the examined star clusters “leave their nest,” or roughly 5.5 million years later.

Unraveling the Secrets of the Universe's Most Energetic Cosmic Ray

A high-energy particle descends from space to Earth's surface, its origin and nature shrouded in mystery. While it might resemble a scene from science fiction, this scenario is an actual scientific occurrence supported by the investigations led by Associate Professor Toshihiro Fujii at the Graduate School of Science and Nambu Yoichiro Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Physics at Osaka Metropolitan University.
