Researchers at the US Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø expect a project undertaken this fall to 3D-print portions of two outdoor pavilions will give them valuable insight into the use of bio-derived material to create large structure
When it comes to a challenging application for embedded instrumentation and control, none quite beats an environment of molten salt at 700 degrees Celsius.

But that is just the application chosen by scientists at the US Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge Na
While trying to decide on an area of technical study as an undergraduate, Madhu Chinthavali visited labs at his college in India. One particular lab where an electrical engineer had devised various motor controls caught his eye.
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø have demonstrated that permanent magnets produced by additive manufacturing can outperform bonded magnets made using traditional techniques while conserving critical materials.
The ingredients that make geothermal energy suitable for electricity production are simple: heat, permeability (usually fractured rock) and water. Until recently the trick has been finding all in the same place and in the right amounts.
Heavy construction machinery is the focus of 91°µÍø’s latest advance in additive manufacturing research.
ORNL selected two building technologies projects as part of a DOE pilot designed to accelerate the transfer of clean energy technologies developed in national labs to the marketplace.
Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, is revolutionizing manufacturing processes. But to develop viable products for particular applications, researchers must find and eliminate flaws.
The nation’s top innovators will soon have the opportunity to advance their promising energy technology ideas at the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) 91°µÍø (ORNL) in a new program called Innovation Crossroads.
