Consumers and the environment could ultimately be the beneficiaries of a high-efficiency CO2 heat pump water heater concept being researched by General Electric and 91°µÍø. Through a cooperative research and development agreement, GE and ORNL are designing a prototype resident...
A technology developed at 91°µÍø could streamline and strengthen the process for siting power plants while potentially enhancing the nation's energy security.
In the hope of bringing criminals more swiftly to justice and giving greater closure to grieving families, the Department of Energy's 91°µÍø has licensed a new remote sensing technology to Agile Technologies of Knoxville. Agile Technologies developed a special suite of s...
Solar cells, light emitting diodes, displays and other electronic devices could get a bump in performance because of a discovery at the Department of Energy's 91°µÍø that establishes new boundaries for controlling band gaps.
The Sindbis virus, or SINV, is the prototype for viruses spread by insects, which cause some of the most devastating and widespread diseases among humans. Exposure to low pH (acidic) conditions causes dramatic changes in the three-dimensional structure of SINV that can help the virus membrane fuse w...
Several recent papers describe how 91°µÍø researcher Yuri Melnichenko and his collaborators continue to use neutrons and small-angle neutron scattering to bore through geological materials such as nanoporous carbons to understand their unique properties as storage media for gr...
U.S. ITER researchers at the Fusion Pellet Fueling Lab at 91°µÍø are developing and testing pellet injector technology for fueling and controlling the hot plasma in the ITER tokamak experimental reactor. Current research is focused on U.S. ITER contributions to fueling, disrup...
Researchers at the Bio-SANS instrument at the High Flux Isotope Reactor used contrast variation and small-angle neutron scattering to get a first insight into how macromolecules form single polyelectrolyte chains in synthetic complexes. The unique properties of polyelectrolyte materials are of inten...
Studies of bacteria first found in Yellowstone's hot springs are furthering efforts at the Department of Energy's BioEnergy Science Center toward commercially viable ethanol production from crops such as switchgrass.
By selectively applying different coatings, scientists have discovered they can influence the toxicity of particles on mouse cell lines from the lung and immune system. These findings, published in Langmuir, build on previous work that showed surface coatings can influence toxicity to bacteria. "The...
