Missing Baryons Found in Far-Out Reaches of Galactic Halos Berkeley Lab physicists play key role in studies that solve a cosmological mystery March 16, 2021 20 Shares A new study has found that a share of particles that has been challenging to locate is most likely sprinkled across the distant bounds of galaxy halos. The study found some of these particles of baryonic matter are located up to 6 million light-years from their galactic centers. This color-rendered image shows the halo of the Andromeda galaxy, which is the Milky Way’s largest galactic neighbor. (Credit: NASA) By Glenn Roberts ...

DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory Nesaraja evaluates mass chains assigned to nuclear data program centers like ORNL. She selects best values for archiving in a specialized nuclear structure database and publication. (Credit: Carlos Jones/ORNL, U.S. Dept. of Energy) Nuclear physicist Caroline Nesaraja of the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory evaluates nuclear data vital to applied and basic sciences. Her work ensures that the scientific community has the best nuclear data for fundamental research and applications including medical isotopes, nuclear energy and national and in...

In 1977, the FBI declassified its UFO files under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act. It was something that led to close to 2,000 pages of UFO-themed material being placed into the public domain. Since then, even more UFO-connected material has been made available by the FBI for one and all to see – such as files on cattle mutilations, the so-called Conatctees (George Adamski, George Van Tassel and so on), and UFO research groups. One of the first pages of material the FBI released back in 1977 was a letter sent, in the summer of 1947, to the FBI by a scientist. His name: Edwin M. ...

Caroline Nesaraja: Providing nothing but the best nuclear data

Snyder: Chief Mechanics House Saw Many Changes By SHARON SNYDER Los Alamos Historical Society The oldest continuously lived-in house in Los Alamos was built on the Los Alamos Ranch School campus in 1925 and was known as the Chief Mechanics House. It is still the neighbor of the old Guest Cottage that today houses our History Museum. In the first years of the ranch school, three brothers from Española came to work on the Pajarito Plateau. Jim Womelsduff hired on as the school’s wrangler and ranch foreman, responsible for the entire physical plant — buildings, roads, water system, power pl...
