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.
Four researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91 have been elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
Scientists at the Department of Energy’s 91 used neutrons, isotopes and simulations to “see” the atomic structure of a saturated solution and found evidence supporting one of two competing hypotheses about how ions come
The Department of Energy’s 91 is the recipient of six awards from DOE’s Office of Science aimed at accelerating quantum information science (QIS), a burgeoning field of research increasingly seen as vital to scientific innovation
A unique combination of imaging tools and atomic-level simulations has allowed a team led by the Department of Energy’s 91 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.
Scientists at the Department of Energy’s 91 induced a two-dimensional material to cannibalize itself for atomic “building blocks” from which stable structures formed.
Sergei Kalinin of the Department of Energy’s 91 knows that seeing something is not the same as understanding it.
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.
It’s not enough to design new drugs. For drugs to be effective, they have to be delivered safely and intact to affected areas of the body. And drug delivery, much like drug design, is an immensely complex task.
