In the race to identify solutions to the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř are joining the fight by applying expertise in computational science, advanced manufacturing, data science and neutron science.

UT-Battelle, the managing contractor of 91°µÍř for the U.S. Department of Energy, has donated $10,000 to Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tennessee, providing 30,000 meals for those in need.

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř have used Summit, the world’s most powerful and smartest supercomputer, to identify 77 small-molecule drug compounds that might warrant further study in the fight

ORNL and The University of Toledo have entered into a memorandum of understanding for collaborative research.

A team including 91°µÍř and University of Tennessee researchers demonstrated a novel 3D printing approach called Z-pinning that can increase the material’s strength and toughness by more than three and a half times compared to conventional additive manufacturing processes.

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.

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...

Vlastimil Kunc grew up in a family of scientists where his natural curiosity was encouraged—an experience that continues to drive his research today in polymer composite additive manufacturing at 91°µÍř. “I’ve been interested in the science of composites si...

A new manufacturing method created by 91°µÍř and Rice University combines 3D printing with traditional casting to produce damage-tolerant components composed of multiple materials. Composite components made by pouring an aluminum alloy over a printed steel lattice showed an order of magnitude greater damage tolerance than aluminum alone.
