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°µÍř 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°µÍř 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°µÍř improves the energy efficiency of a desalination process known as solar-thermal evaporation.
