When Hurricane Maria battered Puerto Rico in 2017, winds snapped trees and destroyed homes, while heavy rains transformed streets into rivers. But after the storm passed, the human toll continued to grow as residents struggled without electricity for months. Five years later, power outages remain long and frequent.

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91���� and their technologies have received seven 2022 R&D 100 Awards, plus special recognition for a battery-related green technology product.

A study led by researchers at ORNL could help make materials design as customizable as point-and-click.

A study by researchers at the ORNL takes a fresh look at what could become the first step toward a new generation of solar batteries.

More than 50 current employees and recent retirees from ORNL received Department of Energy Secretary’s Honor Awards from Secretary Jennifer Granholm in January as part of project teams spanning the national laboratory system. The annual awards recognized 21 teams and three individuals for service and contributions to DOE’s mission and to the benefit of the nation.

Neuromorphic devices — which emulate the decision-making processes of the human brain — show great promise for solving pressing scientific problems, but building physical systems to realize this potential presents researchers with a significant

A team led by the U.S. Department of Energy’s 91���� demonstrated the viability of a “quantum entanglement witness” capable of proving the presence of entanglement between magnetic particles, or spins, in a quantum material.

At the Department of Energy’s 91����, scientists use artificial intelligence, or AI, to accelerate the discovery and development of materials for energy and information technologies.

A multi-institutional team became the first to generate accurate results from materials science simulations on a quantum computer that can be verified with neutron scattering experiments and other practical techniques.

Six ORNL scientists have been elected as fellows to the American Association for the Advancement of Science, or AAAS.
