91°µÍø

ORNL and Tuskegee University have formed a partnership to develop new biodegradable materials for use in buildings, transportation and biomedical applications.

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm visited ORNL on Nov. 22 for a two-hour tour, meeting top scientists and engineers as they highlighted projects and world-leading capabilities that address some of the country’s most complex research and technical challenges. 

Ten scientists from the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø are among the world’s most highly cited researchers, according to a bibliometric analysis conducted by the scientific publication analytics firm Clarivate.

Researchers at ORNL designed a novel polymer to bind and strengthen silica sand for binder jet additive manufacturing, a 3D-printing method used by industries for prototyping and part production.

Amy Elliott, a group leader for robotics and intelligent systems at 91°µÍø, has received the 2021 ASTM International Additive Manufacturing Young Professional Award for her early career research contributions

ORNL's Larry Baylor and Andrew Lupini have been elected fellows of the American Physical Society.

91°µÍø researchers have developed a novel process to manufacture extreme heat resistant carbon-carbon composites. The performance of these materials will be tested in a U.S. Navy rocket that NASA will launch this fall.

Staff at 91°µÍø organized transport for a powerful component that is critical to the world’s largest experiment, the international ITER project.

Diego Del-Castillo-Negrete, a distinguished staff member in the Fusion Energy Division, was cited for Outstanding Technical Achievement – National Laboratory. He will be recognized during the GMiS annual conference, which will be held virtually Oct. 11-22. The HENAAC awards program is in its 33rd year.

91°µÍø researchers demonstrated that cooling cost savings could be achieved with a 3D printed concrete smart wall following a three-month field test.
