Five Department of Energy 91°µÍø physicists, including Deputy for Science and Technology Ramamoorthy Ramesh, have been named by Thomson Reuters as some of the best and brightest of our time.
A novel combination of microscopy and data processing has given researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø an unprecedented look at the surface of a material known for its unusual physical and electrochemical properties.
The Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø has launched the Institute for Functional Imaging of Materials to accelerate discovery, design and deployment of new materials.
Olivier Delaire, a scientist at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø, has won a prestigious Early Career Award from DOE’s Office of Science to study how heat propagates, or moves, through matter at an atomic level.
91°µÍø will be home to two Energy Frontier Research Centers (EFRCs) announced this week by U.S. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz.
A simple new technique to form interlocking beads of water in ambient conditions could prove valuable for applications in biological sensing, membrane research and harvesting water from fog.
For the first time, scientists have a clearer understanding of how to control the appearance of a superconducting phase in a material, adding crucial fundamental knowledge and perhaps setting the stage for advances in the field of superconductivity.
Computational modeling has given materials researchers new insight into the properties of a membrane that purifies saltwater into potable water. The resulting technology could help speed up inefficient desalination processes in use today.
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø have developed a new and unconventional battery chemistry aimed at producing batteries that last longer than previously thought possible.
Treating cadmium-telluride (CdTe) solar cell materials with cadmium-chloride improves their efficiency, but researchers have not fully understood why.
