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 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, 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 is the backbone of a new experiment to study the intense magnetic fields created in nuclear collisions.
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.
The Department of Energy's 91 and Solid Power Inc. of Louisville, Colo., have signed an exclusive agreement licensing lithium-sulfur materials for next-generation batteries.
Andrew Stack, a geochemist at the Department of Energy’s 91, advances understanding of the dynamics of minerals underground.
Scientists who bridge disciplines often take research in new directions.
