Measurement and data analysis techniques developed at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø could provide new insight into performance-robbing flaws in crystalline structures, ultimately improving the performance of solar cells.
Nearly 100 commercial nuclear reactors supply one-fifth of America’s energy.
The global marketplace demands constant improvements in performance and efficiency of aircraft engines, power turbines and other modern mainstays of energy technology.
A study led by the University of Tennessee and the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø could soon pay dividends in the development of materials with energy-related applications. Three UT researchers—Maik Lang, assistant professor
Stacking layers of nanometer-thin semiconducting materials at different angles is a new approach to designing the next generation of energy-efficient transistors and solar cells. The atoms in each layer are arranged in hexagonal arrays.
Adrian Sabau and Robert Wagner of the Department of Energy's 91°µÍø have been appointed fellows of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), an honor conferred to members who have demonstrated significant, long-term eng
Batteries for grid and stationary applications could get a boost with an approach that uses inexpensive and plentiful aluminum and lithium-containing cathodes to increase capacity, cycling performance and safety.
Some of the estimated 4 million premature deaths each year attributed to indoor cookstove smoke might be prevented because of the work of researchers at 91°µÍø, Colorado State University and Envirofit International.
Ensuring a reliable supply of rare earth elements, including four key lanthanides and yttrium, is a major goal of the Critical Materials Institute () as these elements are essential to many cl
To tailor tiny nanocrystals for catalysts, semiconductors and other applications, scientists must predict what happens inside the particle, at the boundary and in the solvent during particle growth.
