Jagjit Nanda, a distinguished staff scientist, has been elected a fellow of the Materials Research Society.
Researchers at 91°µÍř are using state-of-the-art methods to shed light on chemical separations needed to recover rare-earth elements and secure critical materials for clean energy technologies.
A multidisciplinary team of scientists at ORNL has applied a laser-interference structuring, or LIS, technique that makes significant strides toward eliminating the need for hazardous chemicals in corrosion protection for vehicles.
Energy storage startup SPARKZ Inc. has exclusively licensed five battery technologies from the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř designed to eliminate cobalt metal in lithium-ion batteries.
Rare earth elements are the “secret sauce” of numerous advanced materials for energy, transportation, defense and communications applications.
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Washington State University teamed up to investigate the complex dynamics of low-water liquids that challenge nuclear waste processing at
Ionic conduction involves the movement of ions from one location to another inside a material. The ions travel through point defects, which are irregularities in the otherwise consistent arrangement of atoms known as the crystal lattice.
A tiny vial of gray powder produced at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř is the backbone of a new experiment to study the intense magnetic fields created in nuclear collisions.
When physicists Georg Bednorz and K. Alex Muller discovered the first high-temperature superconductors in 1986, it didn’t take much imagination to envision the potential technological benefits of harnessing such materials.
Catalysts make chemical reactions more likely to occur. In most cases, a catalyst that’s good at driving chemical reactions in one direction is bad at driving reactions in the opposite direction.
