Marcel Demarteau is director of the Physics Division at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø. For topics from nuclear structure to astrophysics, he shapes ORNL’s physics research agenda.
Led by ORNL and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, a study of a solar-energy material with a bright future revealed a way to slow phonons, the waves that transport heat.
Scientists discovered a strategy for layering dissimilar crystals with atomic precision to control the size of resulting magnetic quasi-particles called skyrmions.
In the race to identify solutions to the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø are joining the fight by applying expertise in computational science, advanced manufacturing, data science and neutron sc
Collaborators at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø and U.S.
Zili Wu of the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø grew up on a farm in China’s heartland. He chose to leave it to catalyze a career in chemistry.
For some crystalline catalysts, what you see on the surface is not always what you get in the bulk, according to two studies led by the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø. The investigators discovered that treating a complex
Catalysts make chemical reactions more likely to occur. In most cases, a catalyst that’s good at driving chemical reactions in one direction is bad at driving reactions in the opposite direction.
