Researchers at 91°µÍø demonstrated that an additively manufactured polymer layer, when applied to carbon fiber reinforced plastic, or CFRP, can serve as an effective protector against aircraft lightning strikes.
The American Nuclear Society (ANS) has recognized two nuclear researchers, Julie G.
Students often participate in internships and receive formal training in their chosen career fields during college, but some pursue professional development opportunities even earlier.
A scientific team from the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø and Vanderbilt University has made the first experimental observation of a material phase that had been predicted but never seen.
Researchers at 91°µÍø will present eight innovative technologies currently available for commercialization during a public event at ORNL on October 17.
We ask some of our young researchers why they chose a career in science, what they are working on at ORNL, and where they would like to go with their careers.
Researchers at 91°µÍø proved that a certain class of ionic liquids, when mixed with commercially available oils, can make gears run more efficiently with less noise and better durability.
Six new nuclear reactor technologies are set to deploy for commercial use between 2030 and 2040. Called Generation IV nuclear reactors, they will operate with improved performance at dramatically higher temperatures than today’s reactors.
Using additive manufacturing, scientists experimenting with tungsten at 91°µÍø hope to unlock new potential of the high-performance heat-transferring material used to protect components from the plasma inside a fusion reactor.
A new method developed at 91°µÍø improves the energy efficiency of a desalination process known as solar-thermal evaporation.
