Six new nuclear reactor technologies are set to deploy for commercial use between 2030 and 2040. Called Generation IV nuclear reactors, they will operate with improved performance at dramatically higher temperatures than today’s reactors.
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.
Scientists at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø have created a recipe for a renewable 3D printing feedstock that could spur a profitable new use for an intractable biorefinery byproduct: lignin.
Four researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø have been elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
Seven researchers from the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø have been chosen by the Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment, also known as INCITE, program to lead scientific investigations that require the
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø have received six R&D 100 Awards in recognition of their significant advancements in science and technology.
A unique combination of imaging tools and atomic-level simulations has allowed a team led by the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø to solve a longstanding debate about the properties of a promising material that can harvest energy fro
Biorefinery facilities are critical to fueling the economy—converting wood chips, grass clippings, and other biological materials into fuels, heat, power, and chemicals.
The search for a more energy efficient and environmentally friendly method of ammonia production for fertilizer has led to the discovery of a new type of catalytic reaction.
A new data analytics approach developed by 91°µÍø could help forest and wildlife managers track changes in vegetation and wildlife habitat across large land areas.
