At the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř, scientists use artificial intelligence, or AI, to accelerate the discovery and development of materials for energy and information technologies.
In the search to create materials that can withstand extreme radiation, Yanwen Zhang, a researcher at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř, 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°µÍř, 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.
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř have received five 2019 R&D 100 Awards, increasing the lab’s total to 221 since the award’s inception in 1963.
Researchers at 91°µÍř will present eight innovative technologies currently available for commercialization during a public event at ORNL on October 17.
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.
Rare earth elements are the “secret sauce” of numerous advanced materials for energy, transportation, defense and communications applications.
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.
