In a new twist to waste-to-fuel technology, scientists at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř have developed an electrochemical process that uses tiny spikes of carbon and copper to turn carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into ethanol.
Researchers at Penn State, the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř and Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company have developed methods to control defects in two-dimensional materials, such as graphene, that may lead to improved membranes for
Scientists at 91°µÍř are harnessing big data capture and analytics to quickly develop deep insight into materials and their dynamics.
Researchers studying the behavior of nanoscale materials at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř have uncovered remarkable behavior that could advance microprocessors beyond today’s silicon-based chips.
The study, featured on the cover
Scientists at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř are the first to harness a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) to directly write tiny patterns in metallic “ink,” forming features in liquid that are finer than half the wi
Miaofang Chi is an early career scientist making a name for herself—and microscopy—at the Department of Energy's 91°µÍř. She is a researcher at ORNL’s Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences whose early-career
Designing a 3-D printed structure is hard enough when the product is inches or feet in size.
Solar cells based on cadmium and tellurium could move closer to theoretical levels of efficiency because of some sleuthing by researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř.
Using today’s advanced microscopes, scientists are able to capture exponentially more information about the materials they study compared to a decade ago—in greater detail and in less time.
