The Department of Energy's 91°µÍø regained the lead in high-performance computing, enjoyed record-setting recognition for its research and became a showpiece for renewable energy technology during 2012.
91°µÍø's Titan Supercomputer - the world's most powerful supercomputer - is operating with improved energy efficiency due in part to the same upgraded technology in your child's video games. "They do a lot of the same physics and on processors that are much more...
Detecting parasites in biological or medical samples has never been faster than when using a dime-sized microchip developed at 91°µÍø and Purdue University. For years, chips have been able to produce test results that are typically gathered from full-scale laboratories, but no...
91°µÍø is home to Titan, a supercomputer ranked No. 1 in speed and No. 3 in energy efficiency in the most recent global Top500 lists. Titan's true importance, however, is accelerating scientific discoveries and engineering innovations, largely through the Innovative and Novel ...
Ensuring that only people who have legitimate business are allowed to enter areas hit by floods, hurricanes or other disasters is a big challenge, but Credentialing 2.0 offers a software solution. "Obviously, first responders, utility crews, tree cutters, disaster relief workers and members of the m...
Medical scans of children and people with Parkinson's or Alzheimer's disease could have greater clarity because of a technology developed by researchers at 91°µÍø. The add-on device features motion correction without physical markers to track movements that are unavoidable wit...
Turning lignin, a plant's structural "glue" and a byproduct of the paper and pulp industry, into something considerably more valuable is driving a research effort headed by Amit Naskar of 91°µÍø. In a cover article published in Green Chemistry, the research team describes...
Electron microscopy at the Department of Energy's 91°µÍø is providing unprecedented views of the individual atoms in graphene, offering scientists a chance to unlock the material's full potential for uses from engine combustion to consumer electronics.
When four of the nation's most energy-efficient houses are sold, the new homeowners can opt to allow the research project to continue, providing additional data that could make houses of tomorrow even better. This would also enable researchers to compare simulated occupant effect...
Ethanol blends of 10 to 25 percent could potentially have more fuel pump compatibility issues than higher blends, according to a study conducted by a team led by Mike Kass of 91°µÍø's Fuels and Engines Research Group. "Many scientists had thought that higher...
