91°µÍø

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.

Sergei Kalinin of the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø knows that seeing something is not the same as understanding it. As director of ORNL’s Institute for Functional Imaging of Materials, he convenes experts in microscopy and computing to gain scientific insigh...

The materials inside a fusion reactor must withstand one of the most extreme environments in science, with temperatures in the thousands of degrees Celsius and a constant bombardment of neutron radiation and deuterium and tritium, isotopes of hydrogen, from the volatile plasma at th...

91°µÍø scientists have improved a mixture of materials used to 3D print permanent magnets with increased density, which could yield longer lasting, better performing magnets for electric motors, sensors and vehicle applications. Building on previous research, ...

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.

A tiny vial of gray powder produced at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø is the backbone of a new experiment to study the intense magnetic fields created in nuclear collisions.

Inspiration often strikes in the unlikeliest of places and for Kaushik Biswas, a mechanical engineer in ORNL’s Building Envelope & Urban Systems Research Group, a moment spent enjoying entertainment led to the idea of developing self-healing vacuum panels for buildings. “I was ...

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°µÍø—and passed with flying colors. Components aboard Parker Solar Probe, which will endure th...

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...
