Scientists at ORNL and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, have found a way to simultaneously increase the strength and ductility of an alloy by introducing tiny precipitates into its matrix and tuning their size and spacing.
At the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø, scientists use artificial intelligence, or AI, to accelerate the discovery and development of materials for energy and information technologies.
An international multi-institution team of scientists has synthesized graphene nanoribbons – ultrathin strips of carbon atoms – on a titanium dioxide surface using an atomically precise method that removes a barrier for custom-designed carbon
In the search to create materials that can withstand extreme radiation, Yanwen Zhang, a researcher at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø, says that materials scientists must think outside the box.
OAK RIDGE, Tenn., Feb. 12, 2020 -- Michael Brady, a researcher at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø, has been named fellow of the National Association of Corrosion Engineers, or NACE International.
The American Nuclear Society (ANS) has recognized two nuclear researchers, Julie G.
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.
