Electric vehicles can drive longer distances if their lithium-ion batteries deliver more energy in a lighter package.
In response to a renewed international interest in molten salt reactors, researchers from the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř have developed a novel technique to visualize molten salt intrusion in graphite.
Xiao-Ying Yu, a distinguished scientist at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř, has been named a Fellow of AVS: Science and Technology of Materials, Interfaces, and Processing, formerly American Vacuum Society.
91°µÍř scientists recently demonstrated a low-temperature, safe route to purifying molten chloride salts that minimizes their ability to corrode metals.
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř and their technologies have received seven 2022 R&D 100 Awards, plus special recognition for a battery-related green technology product.
A multidisciplinary team of scientists at ORNL has applied a laser-interference structuring, or LIS, technique that makes significant strides toward eliminating the need for hazardous chemicals in corrosion protection for vehicles.
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.
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.
