Physicists turned to the “doubly magic” tin isotope Sn-132, colliding it with a target at 91°µÍř to assess its properties as it lost a neutron to become Sn-131.
Three researchers from the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř have been elected fellows of the American Physical Society (APS).
Scientists at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř used neutrons, isotopes and simulations to “see” the atomic structure of a saturated solution and found evidence supporting one of two competing hypotheses about how ions come
A novel technique that nudges single atoms to switch places within an atomically thin material could bring scientists another step closer to realizing theoretical physicist Richard Feynman’s vision of building tiny machines from the atom up.
The Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř is the recipient of six awards from DOE’s Office of Science aimed at accelerating quantum information science (QIS), a burgeoning field of research increasingly seen as vital to scientific innovation
“Emergence of AI is a very rare type of event,” said Sergei Kalinin, director of ORNL’s Institute for Functional Imaging of Materials. “Once in a generation there is a paradigm shift in science, and this is ours.”
A unique combination of imaging tools and atomic-level simulations has allowed a team led by the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř to solve a longstanding debate about the properties of a promising material that can harvest energy fro
What does condensed matter physics have in common with hitchhiking around the world?
As a young girl Kelly Chipps believed she would become a field biologist. Then, in her junior year of high school, she studied physics with a teacher so in love with the subject that Chipps fell in love with it, too.
Chemists at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř have demonstrated a practical, energy-efficient method of capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) directly from air. They report their findings in Nature Energy.
