Quantum computers process information using quantum bits, or qubits, based on fragile, short-lived quantum mechanical states.

A team of scientists with ORNL has investigated the behavior of hafnium oxide, or hafnia, because of its potential for use in novel semiconductor applications.

Since its inception in 2010, the program bolsters national scientific discovery by supporting early career researchers in fields pertaining to the Office of Science.

Ho Nyung Lee, a condensed matter physicist at the Department of Energy’s 91����, has been elected a Fellow of the Materials Research Society.

ORNL has been selected to lead an Energy Frontier Research Center, or EFRC, focused on polymer electrolytes for next-generation energy storage devices such as fuel cells and solid-state electric vehicle batteries.

Researchers at 91���� and Korea’s Sungkyunkwan University are using advanced microscopy to nanoengineer promising materials for computing and electronics in a beyond-Moore era.

Researchers at ORNL are teaching microscopes to drive discoveries with an intuitive algorithm, developed at the lab’s Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences, that could guide breakthroughs in new materials for energy technologies, sensing and computing

A team led by the ORNL has found a rare quantum material in which electrons move in coordinated ways, essentially “dancing.”

At the Department of Energy’s 91����, scientists use artificial intelligence, or AI, to accelerate the discovery and development of materials for energy and information technologies.

Led by ORNL and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, a study of a solar-energy material with a bright future revealed a way to slow phonons, the waves that transport heat.
