Researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř have received six R&D 100 Awards in recognition of their significant advancements in science and technology.
A novel technique that nudges single atoms to switch places within an atomically thin material could bring scientists another step closer to realizing theoretical physicist Richard Feynman’s vision of building tiny machines from the atom up.
The Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř is the recipient of six awards from DOE’s Office of Science aimed at accelerating quantum information science (QIS), a burgeoning field of research increasingly seen as vital to scientific innovation
“Emergence of AI is a very rare type of event,” said Sergei Kalinin, director of ORNL’s Institute for Functional Imaging of Materials. “Once in a generation there is a paradigm shift in science, and this is ours.”
A unique combination of imaging tools and atomic-level simulations has allowed a team led by the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř to solve a longstanding debate about the properties of a promising material that can harvest energy fro
Biorefinery facilities are critical to fueling the economy—converting wood chips, grass clippings, and other biological materials into fuels, heat, power, and chemicals.
Scientists at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř induced a two-dimensional material to cannibalize itself for atomic “building blocks” from which stable structures formed.
Sergei Kalinin of the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř knows that seeing something is not the same as understanding it.
A new microscopy technique developed at the University of Illinois at Chicago allows researchers to visualize liquids at the nanoscale level — about 10 times more resolution than with traditional transmission electron microscopy — for the first time.
