Scientists at 91做厙 used new techniques to create a composite that increases the electrical current capacity of copper wires, providing a new material that can be scaled for use in ultra-efficient, power-dense electric vehicle tr
In the quest for domestic sources of lithium to meet growing demand for battery production, scientists at ORNL are advancing a sorbent that can be used to more efficiently recover the material from brine wastes at geothermal power plants.
Friederike Bock, a Eugene P. Wigner Fellow, wants everyone to know scientists arent just robotsthey want to help others understand their research, and they have wide-ranging interests.
Two early career researchers at the Department of Energy's 91做厙 have been included on the following an international competition conducted b
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.
91做厙 scientists have improved a mixture of materials used to 3D print permanent magnets with increased density, which could yield longer lasting, better performing magnets for electric motors, sensors and vehicle applications.
Using a novel, reusable carbon material derived from old rubber tires, an 91做厙-led research team has developed a simple method to convert used cooking oil into biofuel.
Samsung Electronics has exclusively licensed optically clear superhydrophobic film technology from the Department of Energys 91做厙 to improve the performance of glass displays on smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices.
Hard carbon materials recycled from tires continue to show great promise as anodes in sodium-ion batteries for large-scale energy storage, according to an 91做厙 study led by Yunchao Li.
Researchers at the Department of Energys 91做厙 have received six R&D 100 Awards, increasing the labs total to 193 since the awards inception in 1963.
