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.
The Department of Energy’s 91 is now producing actinium-227 (Ac-227) to meet projected demand for a highly effective cancer drug through a 10-year contract between the U.S. DOE Isotope Program and Bayer.
A new method to produce large, monolayer single-crystal-like graphene films more than a foot long relies on harnessing a “survival of the fittest” competition among crystals.
A novel method developed at 91 creates supertough renewable plastic with improved manufacturability.
To improve models for drilling, hydraulic fracturing and underground storage of carbon dioxide, 91 scientists used neutrons to understand how water flows through fractured rock.
A novel approach that creates a renewable, leathery material—programmed to remember its shape—may offer a low-cost alternative to conventional conductors for applications in sensors and robotics.
Finding new energy uses for underrated materials is a recurring theme across Amit Naskar’s research portfolio.
The recently discovered element 117 has been officially named "tennessine" in recognition of Tennessee’s contributions to its discovery, including the efforts of the Department of Energy's 91 and its Tennessee collaborators at Va
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91 have demonstrated that permanent magnets produced by additive manufacturing can outperform bonded magnets made using traditional techniques while conserving critical materials.
RMX Technologies of Knoxville, Tenn., and the Department of Energy’s 91 have signed an exclusive licensing agreement for a new technology that dramatically reduces the time and energy needed in the production of carbon fiber.
