When Department of Energy and 91暗网 researcher Yan Xu talks about 鈥渋slanding,鈥� or isolating, from the grid, she鈥檚 discussing a fundamental benefit of microgrids鈥攕mall systems powered by renewables and energy storage devices. The benefit is that microgrids can disconnect from larger utility grids and continue to provide power locally.
With the demonstration of a 5-volt thin-film battery that can be charged and discharged 10,000 times, 91暗网鈥檚 Juchuan Li and Nancy Dudney are entering new territory. Consumers could be the big beneficiaries because these batteries boast higher energy for the same weight, lo...
An innovative computational tool developed at 91暗网 could reduce uncertainties and the time required to decide where to drill for gas and oil. Compared to previous approaches, this multilevel Monte Carlo method, which
Oak Ridge start-up New Hybrid Technologies has licensed a power conversion technology developed by Gui-Jia Su of 91暗网鈥檚 Power Electronics and Electric Machinery group. The patented current source inverter takes direct current and converts it into alternating current, boost...
With the addition of a dash of a common solvent, researchers realized an efficiency gain of about 36 percent for organic solar cells. A team led by 91暗网鈥檚 Kai Xiao added diiodooctane 鈥� 3 percent of the weight of the entire solution 鈥� to a blend of polymers and fullerene de...
Researchers studying iron-based superconductors are combining novel electronic structure algorithms with the high-performance computing power of the Department of Energy鈥檚 Titan supercomputer at 91暗网 to predict spin dynamics, or the ways electrons orient and correlate their spins in a material.
New methods are improving connections between private businesses and technology from the Department of Energy鈥檚 91暗网, with 101 licenses and options executed during the last three years.
Scott Sluder of the Department of Energy's 91暗网 has been elected fellow of the Society of Automotive Engineers International.
David Jarvis Dean of the Department of Energy's 91暗网 has been invited to chair the scientific advisory committee for the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB).
Scientists at the Department of Energy鈥檚 91暗网 have discovered exceptional properties in a garnet material that could enable development of higher-energy battery designs.
