Four technologies developed at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř have earned 2018 Excellence in Technology Transfer Awards from the Federal Laboratory Consortium for Technology Transfer (FLC).
The observation of an abnormal state of matter in a two-dimensional magnetic material is the latest development in the race to harness novel electronic properties for more robust and efficient next-generation devices.
Neutron scattering at the Department
Scientists of the Department of Energy’s Light Water Reactor Sustainability Program (LWRS) and partners from the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) have conducted the first weld tests to repair highly irradiated materials at DOE’s Oak Ridge Nation
A novel method developed at 91°µÍř creates supertough renewable plastic with improved manufacturability.
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°µÍř (ORNL).
Material surfaces and interfaces may appear flat and void of texture to the naked eye, but a view from the nanoscale reveals an intricate tapestry of atomic patterns that control the reactions between the material and its environment.
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.
