The NUCLEI collaboration will be using some of the worlds most powerful supercomputers, including ORNL’s TITAN, to calculate properties and reactions of atomic nuclei.
The SciDAC Towards Exascale Astrophysics of Mergers and Supernovae (TEAMS) Collaboration is investigating supernovae explosions and neutron-star mergers that create atomic elements heavier than iron and predict such as gravitational waves from these events.
The GODDESS system will be used to measure reactions with neutron-rich unstable nuclei to understand the evolution of shell structure and neutron capture rates relevant for the r-process in neutron star mergers and in core-collapse supernovae.
The Nab project is an experiment at the SNS that will search for new physics beyond the Standard Model via a high-precision measurement of the "a" and "b" neutron decay parameters.
NPDGamma and n3He - the first two experiments at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) Fundamental Neutron Physics Beamline (FNPB) - measured parity-violating (PV) asymmetries in neutron capture in light nuclear systems in order to elucidate the weak interaction in hadronic systems.Â

The overarching goal of the proposed research is to understand and control the chemical reactions that govern hydroxylation and carbonation processes during direct air capture of CO2 using MgO.
The overarching goal of this project is to attain a fundamental, predictive understanding of key chemical processes in aqueous solutions, at mineral-water interfaces, and within geologic media that affect mineral nucleation, growth, and dissolution and drive changes in porosity, permeability and water quality.
The overarching goal of this research is to develop a fundamental understanding of the synergy between strong interactions at the ligand-metal binding site and weak interactions in the surrounding coordination sphere for the selective separations and stimuli-responsive release of lanthanides.
