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.
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.
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.
A team led by 91°µÍø developed a novel, integrated approach to track energy-transporting ions within an ultra-thin material, which could unlock its energy storage potential leading toward faster charging, longer-lasting devices.
Biorefinery facilities are critical to fueling the economy—converting wood chips, grass clippings, and other biological materials into fuels, heat, power, and chemicals.
