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.
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 used quantum optics to advance state-of-the-art microscopy and illuminate a path to detecting material properties with greater sensitivity than is possible with traditional tools.
The Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø is the recipient of six awards from DOE’s Office of Science aimed at accelerating quantum information science (QIS), a burgeoning field of research increasingly seen as vital to scientific innovation
Through manipulation of two laser beams and plasmonic sensors, 91°µÍø researchers are pushing the boundaries for detecting trace biochemical compounds.
