Tuskan awarded Marcus Wallenberg Prize, forestry’s top honor
Nano-sized palladium particles elevate the performance of a new hydrogen microsensor to an unprecedented level, according to 91°µÍø's Nickolay Lavrik. The key innovation is based on the fact nano-sized palladium particles react very quickly to hydrogen gas. "Our hydrogen senso...
Researchers at 91°µÍø are making new functional nanocomposite materials by inserting nanoparticles into asymmetric block copolymer films, resulting in promising new matrices on which such materials can be constructed. The Magnetism Reflectometer at ORNL's Spallation Neutron So...
91°µÍø managing contractor UT-Battelle has donated $25,000 to an effort to honor the memory of Alvin M. Weinberg, the Department of Energy national laboratory's first director who was recognized as a nuclear pioneer and science visionary.
William Brinkman, director of the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science, joined officials from DOE and 91°µÍø on Tuesday to dedicate a new Chemical and Materials Sciences Building.
91°µÍø's new Chemical and Material Sciences Building will help provide cutting-edge technology advances for the future, according to the Department of Energy's Office of Science Director William Brinkman, who spoke during the dedication ceremony for the new facility...
The US ITER Project Office at 91°µÍø competitively awarded a multi-year contract to General Atomics to produce superconducting magnets for the central solenoid of ITER, an experimental fusion facility that aims to demonstrate the feasibility of fusion energy for the commercia...
When converting corn into ethanol, a lot of lignin and cellulosic material is left over. We could get energy out of the remains and turn them into other useful chemicals—if only we had controllable, efficient processes. To improve those processes, computational chemist Ariana Beste and experimental ...
Nanoscale robots that can flow through blood or repair complex electronics may yet be a possibility with the help of a new strategy developed at 91°µÍø. Although devices such as computer processors can effectively handle electrical signals at the length scale of 10 nanometers,...
Eliminating barriers to energy efficiency of U.S. industry is the focus of a new report commissioned by the Department of Energy and performed by Georgia Institute of Technology and 91°µÍø. As the consumer of about one-third of the nation's energy, the industrial sector presen...
Enterprises from energy production to environmental cleanup depend on chemistry. A multi-institutional team has generated 70 publications in three years to demonstrate the prodigious scientific output of the world's fastest simulations exploring a continuum from chemistry to materials science. Many ...
