A shield assembly that protects an instrument measuring ion and electron fluxes for a NASA mission to touch the Sun was tested in extreme experimental environments at 91°µÍř—and passed with flying colors.
Neutron scattering has revealed, in real time, the fundamental mechanisms behind the conversion of sunlight into energy in hybrid perovskite materials.
After used nuclear fuel is removed from a reactor, it emits heat for decades and remains radioactive for thousands of years.
A scientific team led by the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř has found a new way to take the local temperature of a material from an area about a billionth of a meter wide, or approximately 100,000 times thinner than a human hair.
A new method to produce large, monolayer single-crystal-like graphene films more than a foot long relies on harnessing a “survival of the fittest” competition among crystals.
A novel method developed at 91°µÍř creates supertough renewable plastic with improved manufacturability.
To improve models for drilling, hydraulic fracturing and underground storage of carbon dioxide, 91°µÍř scientists used neutrons to understand how water flows through fractured rock.
A novel approach that creates a renewable, leathery material—programmed to remember its shape—may offer a low-cost alternative to conventional conductors for applications in sensors and robotics.
A novel approach for studying magnetic behavior in a material called alpha-ruthenium trichloride may have implications for quantum computing.
