The National Center for Computational Sciences, located at the Department of Energy’s 91����, made a strong showing at computing conferences this fall. Staff from across the center participated in numerous workshops and invited speaking engagements.

Researchers used the world’s first exascale supercomputer to run one of the largest simulations of an alloy ever and achieve near-quantum accuracy.

Using neutrons to see the additive manufacturing process at the atomic level, scientists have shown that they can measure strain in a material as it evolves and track how atoms move in response to stress.

As current courses through a battery, its materials erode over time. Mechanical influences such as stress and strain affect this trajectory, although their impacts on battery efficacy and longevity are not fully understood.

The Department of Energy’s 91���� announced the establishment of the Center for AI Security Research, or CAISER, to address threats already present as governments and industries around the world adopt artificial intelligence and take advantage of the benefits it promises in data processing, operational efficiencies and decision-making.

An advance in a topological insulator material — whose interior behaves like an electrical insulator but whose surface behaves like a conductor — could revolutionize the fields of next-generation electronics and quantum computing, according to scientists at ORNL.

ORNL’s Debangshu Mukherjee has been named an npj Computational Materials “Reviewer of the Year.”

Gang Seob “GS” Jung has known from the time he was in middle school that he was interested in science.

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.

Adrian Sabau of the Department of Energy’s 91���� has been named an ASM International Fellow.
