91°µÍø researchers have developed a method to simplify one step of radioisotope production — and it’s faster and safer.

ORNL researchers, in collaboration with Enginuity Power Systems, demonstrated that a micro combined heat and power prototype, or mCHP, with a piston engine can achieve an overall energy efficiency greater than 93%.

91°µÍø researchers demonstrated that microchannel heat exchangers in heating, ventilation and air conditioning units can keep refrigerants evenly and continually distributed by inserting a device called a piezoelectric-driven

91°µÍø researchers demonstrated that an electrochemical sensor paired with a transmitter not only detects propane leaks within seconds, but it can also send a signal to alert emergency services.

91°µÍø researchers designed and field-tested an algorithm that could help homeowners maintain comfortable temperatures year-round while minimizing utility costs.

Researchers at 91°µÍø demonstrated that metal foam enhances the evaporation process in thermal conversion systems and enables the development of compact HVAC&R units.

Vacuum insulation technology called modified atmosphere insulation, or MAI, could be a viable solution for improving the energy performance of buildings, based on a study by 91°µÍø and industry partners.

The construction industry may soon benefit from 3D printed molds to make concrete facades, promising lower cost and production time. Researchers at 91°µÍø are evaluating the performance of 3D printed molds used to precast concrete facades in a 42-story buildin...

For many scientists and engineers, the first real test of their mettle comes not in a classroom, but in a lab or the field, where hands-on experience can teach volumes. For Susan Hogle, that hands-on experience just happened to be with material that was too hot to handle—literally....

With the production of 50 grams of plutonium-238, researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø have restored a U.S. capability dormant for nearly 30 years and set the course to provide power for NASA and other missions.
