91����

Researchers used neutron scattering at 91����’s Spallation Neutron Source to investigate bizarre magnetic behavior, believed to be a possible quantum spin liquid rarely found in a three-dimensional material. QSLs are exotic states of matter where magnetism continues to fluctuate at low temperatures instead of “freezing” into aligned north and south poles as with traditional magnets.

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.

To learn more about interactions between drug molecules and micelles, Associate Professor Megan Robertson and graduate students Tyler Cooksey and Tzu-Han Li from the University of Houston (UH) are using neutrons at the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) 91���� (ORNL).

A team of scientists, led by University of Guelph professor John Dutcher, are using neutrons at ORNL’s Spallation Neutron Source to unlock the secrets of natural nanoparticles that could be used to improve medicines.

Scientists from 91���� performed a corrosion test in a neutron radiation field to support the continued development of molten salt reactors.

The Spallation Neutron Source at the Department of Energy’s 91���� has broken a new record by ending its first neutron production cycle in fiscal year 2019 at its design power level of 1.4 megawatts.

Scientists at the Department of Energy’s 91���� used neutrons, isotopes and simulations to “see” the atomic structure of a saturated solution and found evidence supporting one of two competing hypotheses about how ions come

Kushol Gupta hopes to beat HIV’s defenses. A research assistant professor from the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine, Gupta recently concluded an experiment at the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) 91���� (ORNL) he hopes will improve allosteric inhibitors of integrase (ALLINIs), a new class of HIV-fighting drug that inhibits the virus’s ability to reproduce.

The materials inside a fusion reactor must withstand one of the most extreme environments in science, with temperatures in the thousands of degrees Celsius and a constant bombardment of neutron radiation and deuterium and tritium, isotopes of hydrogen, from the volatile plasma at th...

Energy storage could get a boost from new research of tailored liquid salt mixtures, the components of supercapacitors responsible for holding and releasing electrical energy. 91����’s Naresh Osti and his colleagues used neutrons at the lab’s Spallation Neutron ...
