A new method developed at 91°µÍř improves the energy efficiency of a desalination process known as solar-thermal evaporation.
Two researchers from the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř have received a 2019 Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers, or PECASE.
A team of researchers at 91°µÍř have demonstrated that designed synthetic polymers can serve as a high-performance binding material for next-generation lithium-ion batteries.
Researchers have pioneered a new technique using pressure to manipulate magnetism in thin film materials used to enhance performance in electronic devices.
Scientists have discovered a way to alter heat transport in thermoelectric materials, a that may ultimately improve energy efficiency as the materials
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Washington State University teamed up to investigate the complex dynamics of low-water liquids that challenge nuclear waste processing at
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.
