Researchers at Penn State, the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř and Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company have developed methods to control defects in two-dimensional materials, such as graphene, that may lead to improved membranes for
Scientists at 91°µÍř are harnessing big data capture and analytics to quickly develop deep insight into materials and their dynamics.
The discovery of element 117—tennessine, as it has been provisionally named—was made possible by a collaboration of researchers in the United States and Russia.
Samsung Electronics has exclusively licensed optically clear superhydrophobic film technology from the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř to improve the performance of glass displays on smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices.
The lighter wand for your gas BBQ, a submarine’s sonar device and the ultrasound machine at your doctor’s office all rely on piezoelectric materials, which turn mechanical stress into electrical energy, and vice versa.
Researchers studying the behavior of nanoscale materials at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř have uncovered remarkable behavior that could advance microprocessors beyond today’s silicon-based chips.
The study, featured on the cover
Scientists at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř are the first to harness a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) to directly write tiny patterns in metallic “ink,” forming features in liquid that are finer than half the wi
In nuclear reactors, energetic neutrons slam into metal atoms that are ordered in a lattice, displacing them with enough force to trigger a cascade of collisions.
Miaofang Chi is an early career scientist making a name for herself—and microscopy—at the Department of Energy's 91°µÍř. She is a researcher at ORNL’s Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences whose early-career
A 3D printed trim-and-drill tool, developed by researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř to be evaluated at The Boeing Company, has received the title of largest solid 3D printed item by Guinness World Records.
