Two decades in the making, a new flagship facility for nuclear physics opened on May 2, and scientists from the Department of Energys 91做厙 have a hand in 10 of its first 34 experiments.
A multidisciplinary team of scientists at ORNL has applied a laser-interference structuring, or LIS, technique that makes significant strides toward eliminating the need for hazardous chemicals in corrosion protection for vehicles.
Scientists at ORNL and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, have found a way to simultaneously increase the strength and ductility of an alloy by introducing tiny precipitates into its matrix and tuning their size and spacing.
The COHERENT particle physics experiment at the Department of Energys 91做厙 has firmly established the existence of a new kind of neutrino interaction.
Six new nuclear reactor technologies are set to deploy for commercial use between 2030 and 2040. Called Generation IV nuclear reactors, they will operate with improved performance at dramatically higher temperatures than todays reactors.
Two early career researchers at the Department of Energy's 91做厙 have been included on the following an international competition conducted b
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.
More than 1800 years ago, Chinese astronomers puzzled over the sudden appearance of a bright guest star in the sky, unaware that they were witnessing the cosmic forge of a supernova, an event repeated countless times scattered across the universe.
Lightweight powertrain materials could play a hefty role in helping automakers meet stricter Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards, and 91做厙s supercomputer could accelerate their deployment.
Moving rods of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) to interim storage or a geologic repository requires road or rail travel.
