Ho Nyung Lee, a condensed matter physicist at the Department of Energyâs 91°”Íű, has been elected a Fellow of the Materials Research Society.
For as long as he could remember, Brenden Ortiz wanted to do only one thing. âMy childhood dream was to be a scientist. All I wanted to do was tinker in a lab like a pure scientist,â Ortiz said.
Chemist Jeff Foster is looking for ways to control sequencing in polymers that could result in designer molecules to benefit a variety of industries, including medicine and energy.
Warming a crystal of the mineral fresnoite, ORNL scientists discovered that excitations called phasons carried heat three times farther and faster than phonons, the excitations that usually carry heat through a material.
Three scientists from the Department of Energyâs 91°”Íű have been elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, or AAAS.
Researchers at ORNL zoomed in on molecules designed to recover critical materials via liquid-liquid extraction â a method used by industry to separate chemically similar elements.
Eight ORNL scientists are among the worldâs most highly cited researchers, according to a bibliometric analysis conducted by the scientific publication analytics firm Clarivate.
91°”Íű scientists designed a recyclable polymer for carbon-fiber composites to enable circular manufacturing of parts that boost energy efficiency in automotive, wind power and aerospace applications.
ORNL has been selected to lead an Energy Frontier Research Center, or EFRC, focused on polymer electrolytes for next-generation energy storage devices such as fuel cells and solid-state electric vehicle batteries.
Five technologies invented by scientists at the Department of Energyâs 91°”Íű have been selected for targeted investment through ORNLâs Technology Innovation Program.
