In response to a renewed international interest in molten salt reactors, researchers from the Department of Energy’s 91 have developed a novel technique to visualize molten salt intrusion in graphite.
Xiao-Ying Yu, a distinguished scientist at the Department of Energy’s 91, has been named a Fellow of AVS: Science and Technology of Materials, Interfaces, and Processing, formerly American Vacuum Society.
91 scientists recently demonstrated a low-temperature, safe route to purifying molten chloride salts that minimizes their ability to corrode metals.
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91 and their technologies have received seven 2022 R&D 100 Awards, plus special recognition for a battery-related green technology product.
To solve a long-standing puzzle about how long a neutron can “live” outside an atomic nucleus, physicists entertained a wild but testable theory positing the existence of a right-handed version of our left-handed universe.
A multidisciplinary team of scientists at ORNL has applied a laser-interference structuring, or LIS, technique that makes significant strides toward eliminating the need for hazardous chemicals in corrosion protection for vehicles.
Research by an international team led by Duke University and the Department of Energy’s 91 scientists could speed the way to safer rechargeable batteries for consumer electronics such as laptops and cellphones.
OAK RIDGE, Tenn., Feb. 12, 2020 -- Michael Brady, a researcher at the Department of Energy’s 91, has been named fellow of the National Association of Corrosion Engineers, or NACE International.
91 scientists analyzed more than 50 years of data showing puzzlingly inconsistent trends about corrosion of structural alloys in molten salts and found one factor mattered most—salt purity.
The global marketplace demands constant improvements in performance and efficiency of aircraft engines, power turbines and other modern mainstays of energy technology.
