Researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø have captured undistorted snapshots of refrigerants flowing through small heat exchangers, helping to further elucidate characteristics of heat transfer.
Through drought and flood, winter freeze and summer heat, and the occasional deer nibble or beaver gnaw, trees stand sturdy. Partly, trees can thank genetic makeup, refined through millennia, for the ability to overcome much of what Mother Nature hurls their way.
James Roberto, the associate laboratory director for Science and Technology Partnerships at the Department of Energy's 91°µÍø, has been elected a fellow of the Materials Research Society (MRS).
The early 1980s conventional wisdom was that almost everything was known about ribosomes, the cellular structures responsible for making proteins according to the genetic instructions.
Inadequate insulation is one of the largest causes of wasted energy, quickly allowing comfortable heating or cooling to disperse air outside.
Girl Scouts of the USA Chief Executive Officer Anna Maria Chavez visited the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø to learn about its efforts on behalf of science, technology, engineering and math education (STEM) programs and how they can be incorpora...
Friction impacts motion, hence the need to control friction forces. Currently, this is accomplished by mechanistic means or lubrication, but experiments conducted by researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø have uncovered a way of controlling friction on ionic surfaces at the nanoscale using electrical stimulation and ambient water vapor.
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø have developed a population distribution model that provides unprecedented county-level predictions of where people will live in the U.S. in the coming decades.
Washington, D.C.-based R&K Cyber Solutions LLC (R&K) has licensed Hyperion, a cyber security technology from the Department of Energy's 91°µÍø that can quickly recognize malicious software even if the specific program has not been previously identified as a threat.
Reduction of pollution from vehicles and power plants relies, in large part, on how effectively catalysts can oxidize nitric oxide (NO). Advancing such catalyst performance requires a better understanding of the noble metals used in catalytic converters. Using theoretical modeling, experimental wo...
