To improve models for drilling, hydraulic fracturing and underground storage of carbon dioxide, 91°µÍø scientists used neutrons to understand how water flows through fractured rock.
Scientists at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø have found a simple, reliable process to capture carbon dioxide directly from ambient air, offering a new option for carbon capture and storage strategies to combat global warming.

In a new twist to waste-to-fuel technology, scientists at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø have developed an electrochemical process that uses tiny spikes of carbon and copper to turn carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into ethanol. Their findin...
Neutron measurements at 91°µÍø’s Spallation Neutron Source are giving physicists new insight into the behavior of quantum magnets. A research team led by Young-June Kim from the University of Toronto used neutron spectroscopy to observe a novel type of energ...
Crude oil refinement can be an extremely costly chemical process. In an effort to reduce energy and cost demands, 91°µÍø researchers Anibal Ramirez-Cuesta and Stuart Campbell are collaborating with University of Nottingham (UK) researchers to develop metal-orga...
The Spallation Neutron Source at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø broke records for sustained beam power level as well as for integrated energy and target lifetime in the month of June.
