                                                                          Discovery of graphene Single-layer  graphene  was first unambiguously produced and identified in 2004, by the group of  Andre Geim  and  Konstantin Novoselov , though they credit  Hanns-Peter Boehm  and his co-workers for the experimental discovery of graphene in 1962; while it had been explored theoretically by  P. R. Wallace  in 1947.   Boehm et al. introduced the term graphene in 1986 In 1859 Benjamin Collins Brodie became aware of the highly lamellar structure of thermally reduced graphite oxide. The structure of graphite was identified in 1916 [7]  by the related method of powder diffraction.It was studied in detail by Kohlschütter and Hae...

                                                          quark interactions Fig:1 Fig:2 Fig: 3 Quark interactions refer to the way that quarks, which are elementary particles that make up protons and neutrons, interact with each other. Quarks are never found in isolation, but always in groups of two or three, held together by the strong nuclear force. This force is carried by particles called gluons, which mediate the interactions between quarks. The interactions between quarks are described by the theory of quantum chromodynamics (QCD), which is a part of the Standard Model of particle physics. QCD explains how quarks and gluons interact with each other through the strong nuclear force. Quark interactions are important in understanding the structure of matter and the behavior of particles in high-energy physics experiments. They are also rele...

  Department of Energy announces plans to host an informational meeting and requests expressions of interest for the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory management and operating contract competition.   Today, the  U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)  announced the schedule and deadlines for upcoming events and submissions associated with the competition for the management and operating (M&O) contract for the Fermi National Acceleratory Laboratory (FNAL).  DOE will host an informational meeting and site tour on March 1, 2023, at FNAL to provide information regarding the site to interested parties. Find more information about the informational meeting here. Additionally, potential offerors and interested parties may submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) to FNALcompetition@science.doe.gov. Learn more about the Expression of Interest here. The department expects to issue a draft Request for Proposals (RFP) in the Summer 2023 timeframe. The draft RF...
