In response to a renewed international interest in molten salt reactors, researchers from the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø have developed a novel technique to visualize molten salt intrusion in graphite.
An advance in a topological insulator material — whose interior behaves like an electrical insulator but whose surface behaves like a conductor — could revolutionize the fields of next-generation electronics and quantum computing, according to scientist
ORNL staff members played prominent roles in reports that won one Distinction award and two Excellence awards in the 2022 Alliance Competition of the Society for Technical Communication. PSD's Karren More and Bruce Moyer participated.
Three scientists from the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø have been elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, or AAAS.
Scientists at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø are leading a new project to ensure that the fastest supercomputers can keep up with big data from high energy physics research.
91°µÍø researchers serendipitously discovered when they automated the beam of an electron microscope to precisely drill holes in the atomically thin lattice of graphene, the drilled holes closed up.
91°µÍø scientists recently demonstrated a low-temperature, safe route to purifying molten chloride salts that minimizes their ability to corrode metals.
Researchers at ORNL explored radium’s chemistry to advance cancer treatments using ionizing radiation.
At the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø, scientists use artificial intelligence, or AI, to accelerate the discovery and development of materials for energy and information technologies.
An ORNL team used a simple process to implant atoms precisely into the top layers of ultra-thin crystals, yielding two-sided structures with different chemical compositions.
