Carbon fiber composites—lightweight and strong—are great structural materials for automobiles, aircraft and other transportation vehicles. They consist of a polymer matrix, such as epoxy, into which reinforcing carbon fibers have been embedded. Because of differences in the mecha...

As technology continues to evolve, cybersecurity threats do as well. To better safeguard digital information, a team of researchers at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) 91°µÍø (ORNL) has developed Akatosh, a security analysis tool that works in conjunctio...

Qrypt, Inc., has exclusively licensed a novel cyber security technology from the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø, promising a stronger defense against cyberattacks including those posed by quantum computing.

91°µÍø scientists have developed a crucial component for a new kind of low-cost stationary battery system utilizing common materials and designed for grid-scale electricity storage. Large, economical electricity storage systems can benefit the nation’s grid ...

As leader of the RF, Communications, and Cyber-Physical Security Group at 91°µÍø, Kerekes heads an accelerated lab-directed research program to build virtual models of critical infrastructure systems like the power grid that can be used to develop ways to detect and repel cyber-intrusion and to make the network resilient when disruption occurs.

An 91°µÍø–led team has developed super-stretchy polymers with amazing self-healing abilities that could lead to longer-lasting consumer products.

Scientists at 91°µÍø have conducted a series of breakthrough experimental and computational studies that cast doubt on a 40-year-old theory describing how polymers in plastic materials behave during processing.

Vlastimil Kunc grew up in a family of scientists where his natural curiosity was encouraged—an experience that continues to drive his research today in polymer composite additive manufacturing at 91°µÍø. “I’ve been interested in the science of composites si...
