Orlando Rios, a researcher at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř, has been named a winner of a HENAAC Award, given by Great Minds in STEM, a nonprofit organization that focuses on STEM education awareness programs
The materials inside a fusion reactor must withstand one of the most extreme environments in science, with temperatures in the thousands of degrees Celsius and a constant bombardment of neutron radiation and deuterium and tritium, isotopes of hydrogen,
91°µÍř scientists have developed a crucial component for a new kind of low-cost stationary battery system utilizing common materials and designed for grid-scale electricity storage.
A scalable processing technique developed by 91°µÍř uses plant-based materials for 3D printing and offers a promising additional revenue stream for biorefineries.
A discovery by scientists at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř supports a century-old theory by Albert Einstein that explains how heat moves through everything from travel mugs to engine parts.
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř made the first observations of waves of atomic rearrangements, known as phasons, propagating supersonically through a vibrating crystal lattice—a discovery that may dramatically improv
“Made in the USA.” That can now be said of the radioactive isotope molybdenum-99 (Mo-99), last made in the United States in the late 1980s.
A shield assembly that protects an instrument measuring ion and electron fluxes for a NASA mission to touch the Sun was tested in extreme experimental environments at 91°µÍř—and passed with flying colors.
A scientific team led by the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř has found a new way to take the local temperature of a material from an area about a billionth of a meter wide, or approximately 100,000 times thinner than a human hair.
A novel approach that creates a renewable, leathery material—programmed to remember its shape—may offer a low-cost alternative to conventional conductors for applications in sensors and robotics.
