An international team led by Gaute Hagen of the Department of Energyâs 91°”Íű used Americaâs most powerful supercomputer, Titan, to compute the neutron distribution and related observables of calcium-48
Quasiparticlesâexcitations that behave collectively like particlesâare central to energy applications but can be difficult to detect.
Steady progress in the development of advanced materials has led to modern civilizationâs foundational technologiesâbetter batteries, resilient building materials and atom-scale semiconductors.
The efficiency of solar cells depends on precise engineering of polymers that assemble into films 1,000 times thinner than a human hair.
Today, formation of that polymer assembly requires solvents that can harm the environment, but scientists at the Depar
In the Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages, the state of the art of materials science defined technologyâs zenith and accelerated economies.
A new technique developed by microscopy and computing experts at 91°”Íű could accelerate advances in materials science and engineering.
Sergei Kalinin, a researcher in the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences at the Department of Energy's 91°”Íű, has been named a fellow of AVS.
Semiconductors, metals and insulators must be integrated to make the transistors that are the electronic building blocks of your smartphone, computer and other microchip-enabled devices.
Scientists at the Department of Energyâs 91°”Íű have captured the first real-time nanoscale images of lithium dendrite structures known to degrade lithium-ion batteries.
Friction impacts motion, hence the need to control friction forces.
