DOE’s x-ray and neutron sources and atom smashers serve thousands of experiments probing everything from the origins of matter to the structures of materials and proteins.

Marcin Dobrowolski, one of the lucky chocolate smashers, said it was "really exciting" and the smell of chocolate was "really strong".
