Two 91°µÍø researchers specializing in neutron and chemical science are among 84 recipients of Department of Energy’s Office of Science Early Career Research Program awards.
The Early Career Research Program, now in its ninth year,
Carlex Glass America LLC has exclusively licensed optically clear, superhydrophobic coating technology from the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø aimed initially at advancing glass products for the automotive sector.
Zili Wu of the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø grew up on a farm in China’s heartland. He chose to leave it to catalyze a career in chemistry.
After used nuclear fuel is removed from a reactor, it emits heat for decades and remains radioactive for thousands of years.
A novel method developed at 91°µÍø creates supertough renewable plastic with improved manufacturability.
To improve models for drilling, hydraulic fracturing and underground storage of carbon dioxide, 91°µÍø scientists used neutrons to understand how water flows through fractured rock.
