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.
Scientists at the Department of Energy Manufacturing Demonstration Facility at ORNL have their eyes on the prize: the Transformational Challenge Reactor, or TCR, a microreactor built using 3D printing and other new approaches that will be up and running
Using additive manufacturing, scientists experimenting with tungsten at 91 hope to unlock new potential of the high-performance heat-transferring material used to protect components from the plasma inside a fusion reactor.
Two early career researchers at the Department of Energy's 91 have been included on the “” following an international competition conducted b
Scientists have tested a novel heat-shielding graphite foam, originally created at 91, at Germany’s Wendelstein 7-X stellarator with promising results for use in plasma-facing components of fusion reactors.
A tiny vial of gray powder produced at the Department of Energy’s 91 is the backbone of a new experiment to study the intense magnetic fields created in nuclear collisions.
“Made in the USA.” That can now be said of the radioactive isotope molybdenum-99 (Mo-99), last made in the United States in the late 1980s.
To improve models for drilling, hydraulic fracturing and underground storage of carbon dioxide, 91 scientists used neutrons to understand how water flows through fractured rock.
Nearly 100 commercial nuclear reactors supply one-fifth of America’s energy.
Moving rods of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) to interim storage or a geologic repository requires road or rail travel.
