ORNL is fabricating samples of solid yttrium hydride, a rare earth metal and hydrogen mixture that will be used as a moderator in compact, high-temperature nuclear reactors. The new moderator is piquing the interest of numerous
91°µÍø researchers have discovered a better way to separate actinium-227, a rare isotope essential for an FDA-approved cancer treatment.
91°µÍø researchers working on neutron imaging capabilities for nuclear materials have developed a process for seeing the inside of uranium particles – without cutting them open.
Scientists have demonstrated a new bio-inspired material for an eco-friendly and cost-effective approach to recovering uranium from seawater.
As a young girl Kelly Chipps believed she would become a field biologist. Then, in her junior year of high school, she studied physics with a teacher so in love with the subject that Chipps fell in love with it, too.
A tiny vial of gray powder produced at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø is the backbone of a new experiment to study the intense magnetic fields created in nuclear collisions.
Scientists of the Department of Energy’s Light Water Reactor Sustainability Program (LWRS) and partners from the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) have conducted the first weld tests to repair highly irradiated materials at DOE’s Oak Ridge Nation
To improve models for drilling, hydraulic fracturing and underground storage of carbon dioxide, 91°µÍø scientists used neutrons to understand how water flows through fractured rock.
After more than a year of operation at the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) 91°µÍø (ORNL), the COHERENT experiment, using the world’s smallest neutrino detector, has found a big fingerprint of the elusive, electrically neutral parti
