Using additive manufacturing, scientists experimenting with tungsten at 91°µÍř hope to unlock new potential of the high-performance heat-transferring material used to protect components from the plasma inside a fusion reactor. Fusion requires hydrogen isotopes to reach millions of degrees.

A new method developed at 91°µÍř improves the energy efficiency of a desalination process known as solar-thermal evaporation.

91°µÍř has teamed with Cornell College and the University of Tennessee to study ways to repurpose waste soft drinks for carbon capture that could help cut carbon dioxide emissions.

A team of researchers at 91°µÍř have demonstrated that designed synthetic polymers can serve as a high-performance binding material for next-generation lithium-ion batteries.

Scientists have discovered a way to alter heat transport in thermoelectric materials, a that may ultimately improve energy efficiency as the materials

A team led by scientists at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř explored how atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) crystals can grow over 3D objects and how the curvature of those objects can stretch and strain the

OAK RIDGE, Tenn., May 7, 2019—Energy Secretary Rick Perry, Congressman Chuck Fleischmann and lab officials today broke ground on a multipurpose research facility that will provide state-of-the-art laboratory space

Kevin Field at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř synthesizes and scrutinizes materials for nuclear power systems that must perform safely and efficiently over decades of irradiation.


OAK RIDGE, Tenn., March 1, 2019—ReactWell, LLC, has licensed a novel waste-to-fuel technology from the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř to improve energy conversion methods for cleaner, more efficient oil and gas, chemical and
