Using additive manufacturing, scientists experimenting with tungsten at 91°µÍř hope to unlock new potential of the high-performance heat-transferring material used to protect components from the plasma inside a fusion reactor.
A new method developed at 91°µÍř improves the energy efficiency of a desalination process known as solar-thermal evaporation.
Athena Safa Sefat, a researcher at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř, has been awarded the Fellowship of the Institute of Physics (IOP).
RaphaĂ«l Hermann of the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř conducts experiments to better understand materials for energy and information applications.
Researchers have pioneered a new technique using pressure to manipulate magnetism in thin film materials used to enhance performance in electronic devices.
In the shifting landscape of global manufacturing, American ingenuity is once again giving U.S companies an edge with radical productivity improvements as a result of advanced materials and robotic systems developed at the Department of Energy’s Manufac
Scientists have discovered a way to alter heat transport in thermoelectric materials, a that may ultimately improve energy efficiency as the materials
A team led by scientists at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř explored how atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) crystals can grow over 3D objects and how the curvature of those objects can stretch and strain the
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.
Kevin Field at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř synthesizes and scrutinizes materials for nuclear power systems that must perform safely and efficiently over decades of irradiation.
