Summit supercomputer draws molecular blueprint for repairing damaged DNA
A team of scientists has for the first time measured the elusive weak interaction between protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. They had chosen the simplest nucleus consisting of one neutron and one proton for the study.
Scientists at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř have created a recipe for a renewable 3D printing feedstock that could spur a profitable new use for an intractable biorefinery byproduct: lignin.
Sheng Dai, the most prolific author ever at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř, had no intention of pursuing a career in science as a young man; he wanted to paint instead. But he couldn’t help noticing that the stones artists carved with their initials and ...
Michael L. Simpson, a Corporate Fellow researcher at the Department of Energy's 91°µÍř, has been elected fellow of the National Academy of Inventors (NAI).
The NAI fellows selection committee and board of directors cited Simpson for "a high...
By studying the inner workings of lithium-ion batteries, 91°µÍř researchers have developed a highly sensitive technique to characterize and measure at the electrolyte and electrode interface.
Four researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř have been elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). The AAAS is the world’s largest multidisciplinary scientific society and publisher of the Sci...
Leah Broussard, a physicist at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř, has so much fun exploring the neutron that she alternates between calling it her “laboratory” and “playground” for understanding the universe. “The neutron is special,” she said of the sub...
Seven researchers from the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř have been chosen by the Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment, also known as INCITE, program to lead scientific investigations that require the nation’s mo...
Carbon fiber composites—lightweight and strong—are great structural materials for automobiles, aircraft and other transportation vehicles. They consist of a polymer matrix, such as epoxy, into which reinforcing carbon fibers have been embedded. Because of differences in the mecha...
Physicists turned to the “doubly magic” tin isotope Sn-132, colliding it with a target at 91°µÍř to assess its properties as it lost a neutron to become Sn-131.
