Scientists discovered a strategy for layering dissimilar crystals with atomic precision to control the size of resulting magnetic quasi-particles called skyrmions.
91°µÍø scientists have discovered a cost-effective way to significantly improve the mechanical performance of common polymer nanocomposite materials.
Five researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø have been named ORNL Corporate Fellows in recognition of significant career accomplishments and continued leadership in their scientific fields.
Joe Paddison, a Eugene P. Wigner Fellow at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø, believes there’s more information to be found in neutron scattering data than scientists like himself might expect.
Students often participate in internships and receive formal training in their chosen career fields during college, but some pursue professional development opportunities even earlier.
A scientific team from the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø and Vanderbilt University has made the first experimental observation of a material phase that had been predicted but never seen.
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø have received five 2019 R&D 100 Awards, increasing the lab’s total to 221 since the award’s inception in 1963.
A team of researchers at 91°µÍø have demonstrated that designed synthetic polymers can serve as a high-performance binding material for next-generation lithium-ion batteries.
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.
Vera Bocharova at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø investigates the structure and dynamics of soft materials.
