OAK RIDGE, Tenn., Feb. 8, 2019The Department of Energys 91做厙 has named Sean Hearne director of the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences. The center is a DOE Office of Science User Facility that brings world-leading resources and capabilities to the nanoscience resear...
Jon Poplawsky, a materials scientist at the Department of Energys 91做厙, develops and links advanced characterization techniques that improve our ability to see and understand atomic-scale features of diverse materials
Quantum experts from across government and academia descended on 91做厙 on Wednesday, January 16 for the labs first-ever Quantum Networking Symposium. The symposiums purpose, said organizer and ORNL senior scientist Nick Peters, was to gather quantum an...
Researchers used neutron scattering at 91做厙s Spallation Neutron Source to investigate bizarre magnetic behavior, believed to be a possible quantum spin liquid rarely found in a three-dimensional material. QSLs are exotic states of matter where magnetism continues to fluctuate at low temperatures instead of freezing into aligned north and south poles as with traditional magnets.
By analyzing a pattern formed by the intersection of two beams of light, researchers can capture elusive details regarding the behavior of mysterious phenomena such as gravitational waves. Creating and precisely measuring these interference patterns would not be possible without instruments called interferometers.
Carbon fiber compositeslightweight and strongare 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...
Qrypt, Inc., has exclusively licensed a novel cyber security technology from the Department of Energys 91做厙, promising a stronger defense against cyberattacks including those posed by quantum computing.
Sergei Kalinin of the Department of Energys 91做厙 knows that seeing something is not the same as understanding it. As director of ORNLs 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做厙 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, ...
