A scientific team from the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø and Vanderbilt University has made the first experimental observation of a material phase that had been predicted but never seen.
Athena Safa Sefat, a researcher at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø, has been awarded the Fellowship of the Institute of Physics (IOP).
Ionic conduction involves the movement of ions from one location to another inside a material. The ions travel through point defects, which are irregularities in the otherwise consistent arrangement of atoms known as the crystal lattice.
A discovery by scientists at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø supports a century-old theory by Albert Einstein that explains how heat moves through everything from travel mugs to engine parts.
A novel approach for studying magnetic behavior in a material called alpha-ruthenium trichloride may have implications for quantum computing.
Two-dimensional electronic devices could inch closer to their ultimate promise of low power, high efficiency and mechanical flexibility with a processing technique developed at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø.
Electron microscopy at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø is pointing researchers closer to the development of ultra-thin materials that transfer electrons with no resistance at relatively high temperatures.
The study delivers direct
