🌊 Data scientists at Jefferson Lab are making a splash locally with an innovative study of street flooding in an environmentally vulnerable city: , Virginia.

The community-based research, in partnership with nearby Old Dominion University and the University of Virginia, uses some of the latest machine learning strategies to quickly predict roadway ponds in the "Mermaid City." The results could help enhance transportation management and emergency response in at-risk urban settings.

Making up matter: Protons, quarks, and the strong force Researchers probe pressures within the proton using Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering to help us understand the building blocks of matter.

Today, we remember those we lost during — and in the aftermath – of 9/11, and we honor those who risked or gave their lives to save others.

In one of our nation's darkest moments, we saw the resilience and courage of the American spirit. We carry that with us today.

Fishing for muons in a pion sea: Congratulations to Debaditya Biswas, 2024 JSA Postdoctoral Prize Winner and postdoctoral research associate at Virginia Tech. His research aims to harness the power of machine learning to reveal a new method for accurately detecting muons in challenging environments.
