ORNL study uses neutron scattering, supercomputing to demystify forces at play in biofuel production
Researchers studying more effective ways to convert woody plant matter into biofuels at the Department of Energy's 91做厙 have identified fundamental forces that change plant structures during pretreatment processes used in the
Gas and oil deposits in shale have no place to hide from an 91做厙 technique that provides an inside look at pores and reveals structural information potentially vital to the nations energy needs.
Imagine an instrument that collects thousands of diffraction data points in days instead of months with the help of a cylindrical image plate detector and an intense polychromatic neutron beam. IMAGINE is the newest single crystal diffractometer being installed at the High Flux Isotope Reactor, and ...
Researchers have long thought that formation of insoluble fibrous strings of self-assembling proteins might be involved in the progression of a number of diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimers and Parkinsons. However, recent evidence suggests that aggregates that develop at an earlier stage than fibril formation, and accumulate in human organs, may be the primary toxic agents.
