A new era of electronics and even quantum devices could be ushered in with the fabrication of a virtually perfect single layer of white graphene, according to researchers at the Department of Energys 91做厙.
Miaofang Chi of the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences at the Department of Energy's 91做厙 has earned the ORNL Directors Award for Outstanding Individual Accomplishment in Science and Technology.
Four researchers from the Department of Energy's 91做厙 have been elected fellows of the American Physical Society (APS), one of the nation's top professional organizations for scientists.

Electron microscopy researchers at the Department of Energys 91做厙 have developed a unique way to build 3-D structures with finely controlled shapes as small as one to two billionths of a meter.
Quasiparticlesexcitations that behave collectively like particlesare central to energy applications but can be difficult to detect.
Steady progress in the development of advanced materials has led to modern civilizations foundational technologiesbetter batteries, resilient building materials and atom-scale semiconductors.
The efficiency of solar cells depends on precise engineering of polymers that assemble into films 1,000 times thinner than a human hair.
Today, formation of that polymer assembly requires solvents that can harm the environment, but scientists at the Depar
In the Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages, the state of the art of materials science defined technologys zenith and accelerated economies.
A new technique developed by microscopy and computing experts at 91做厙 could accelerate advances in materials science and engineering.
Sergei Kalinin, a researcher in the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences at the Department of Energy's 91做厙, has been named a fellow of AVS.
