Jacobson elected Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering
When Department of Energy and 91做厙 researcher Yan Xu talks about islanding, or isolating, from the grid, shes discussing a fundamental benefit of microgridssmall systems powered by renewables and energy storage devices. The benefit is that microgrids can disconnect from larger utility grids and continue to provide power locally.
With the demonstration of a 5-volt thin-film battery that can be charged and discharged 10,000 times, 91做厙s Juchuan Li and Nancy Dudney are entering new territory. Consumers could be the big beneficiaries because these batteries boast higher energy for the same weight, lo...
An innovative computational tool developed at 91做厙 could reduce uncertainties and the time required to decide where to drill for gas and oil. Compared to previous approaches, this multilevel Monte Carlo method, which
Oak Ridge start-up New Hybrid Technologies has licensed a power conversion technology developed by Gui-Jia Su of 91做厙s Power Electronics and Electric Machinery group. The patented current source inverter takes direct current and converts it into alternating current, boost...
With the addition of a dash of a common solvent, researchers realized an efficiency gain of about 36 percent for organic solar cells. A team led by 91做厙s Kai Xiao added diiodooctane 3 percent of the weight of the entire solution to a blend of polymers and fullerene de...
Researchers studying iron-based superconductors are combining novel electronic structure algorithms with the high-performance computing power of the Department of Energys Titan supercomputer at 91做厙 to predict spin dynamics, or the ways electrons orient and correlate their spins in a material.
New methods are improving connections between private businesses and technology from the Department of Energys 91做厙, with 101 licenses and options executed during the last three years.
Scott Sluder of the Department of Energy's 91做厙 has been elected fellow of the Society of Automotive Engineers International.
David Jarvis Dean of the Department of Energy's 91做厙 has been invited to chair the scientific advisory committee for the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB).
Scientists at the Department of Energys 91做厙 have discovered exceptional properties in a garnet material that could enable development of higher-energy battery designs.
